gaz go get some fishing weighing scales and weigh your bike this way, these would be 99% accurate I reckon, take a pic then proof is proof!

I worked on the bsasis that these Reba's were new ones which are really quite light SDK2007 when I did the whole weight diagnosis, wonder what SPEEDKINGS ones are then?0
-
I got reba race ones james, and when i said the whole thing about some bits not adding up right i meant you was abit out on certain items but you did round them up so thts prob why? I gotta get this thing weighed individually and then i would know but judging on the basis you gave it is 23lbsG.H.Allum0

Yeah, it seems SpeedKings weight 'estimates' are about 3-4lbs light.
Your were about right on the weight of the 07 Reba Race forks : 3.55lbs

A little help needed here people which set of pedals do i buy my 50/50 tht i was using had one snap today so i need a replacement pair
The choices are these two:
G.H.Allum0 -
if one snapped then u should have the company replace gaz! such monster pedals r designed to beasstrong as u like!0
-
Still the Q remains which pair would you put on my bike ?G.H.Allum0
-
Either V12 Mags or MUCH better value, lighter and made by the same company, Wellgo MG1s.0
-
Take a look at my bike mate yo uwill see why i picked these particular two pairs, both would be good i just dont know which to pick?G.H.Allum0
-
Assume it's a colour thing (can't see your pics for some reason)?!
Get the V12s - heard many bad reports on the 50 50s.0 -

Have had both V12 Mags and 50:50s
The DMR seemed a lot sturdier, although you may be OK with the CBs for XC duties, they are not very good for extreme usage to be honest.
Shame you can't get gold V12s (I think you used to be able to)0 -
I toook the advice and bought the dmr V12 chrome and gold pimped ones lol and they look good!!

Assume they are the lighter magnesium versions? Maybe with ti axles too?!
Mine now has XT SPDs fitted - that's 20ish grams off my Wellgo MG1s (magnesium alloy)...
Lighter tubes on the way and fitting lighter tyres too...
0 -
Am planning on some Ti spindles for my mg1s when am back on the bike
May also invest in some more carbon too - got some time to save up!0 -
Webby - what a pain (about the injury).
Think I've done enough weight saving for this month - bike really is feeling light now. But not as light as yours (unless it's a huge frame!)!0 -
Yes matt they do have the titainium spindles making them very light indeed nice as well i wasnt sure if they would go ok wiht the black and gold i already have but they do look sweet!!!!!G.H.Allum0
-
Cool - they are very very light!
Must weigh mine soon - just saved 250g with a tyre change front and back...
New tubes (on the way) will shed another 200g...0 -
I take it yo gys dont like the new pedals on my ride then ??? lolG.H.Allum0

Hi guys got some bad news im afraid!!!!
MY lovely pride and joy was stolen from the shed in my new house that we moved into last week, fully locked to itself (so it couldnt be wheeled out) I found out yesterday morning at 8.00am. AM TOTALLY GUTTED !!
As you who have followed my blog on my bike will be aware that i have spent a lot of time and money on making this bike a really spankngly nice one off machine. Although it seems that some C**T thinks it is their god given right to take my time and money and gleefully enjoy it for free. Bloody Tossers! ( pardon my french!!)
SO anyway guys when ( and if ) my insurance comes through i shall be searching for a new ride not sure if i am gonna sick to MTBing or go back to my first passion of road biking either way would be great to keep in touch with some of you so if yo uwanna forward me email addies or just chat on here about stuff, which i will still be doing from time to time that would be great!
For now though i am inconsoulable and freely wanting to kill the shite bag who stole my pride and joy yesterday..
See ya.G.H.Allum0 -
Sorry to hear that mate,Had one of mine nicked about 10 years ago but still leaves a bitter taste just thinking about it,Hope who ever took it gets hit buy a lorry !! all the best buddy 0
-
Speed_King mate I know your pain, same thing happend to me just over a week ago.
Went to the shed in the morning to get the bike so I could get to work and twas not where I left it. Public transport is no fun
Pikey scum obviously can't be bothered to get a job and earn decent money like the majority of folks.
Hope the insurance company comes through for you, I am currently trying to sort out all the info the company wants from me and am joining the dark side, need lighter bike for the commute.
The result of all this is the next bike will be connected to a Claymore mine, if they want to take my bike, my bike is going to take them with it. :evil:0 -
sorry to hear about the theft, thats shite, scum should have their hands cut off.who cares?0
-
All are scum who steal !!!G.H.Allum0
-
I'd say take a blow torch to them...not used enough in revenge attacks the blow torch...underused.0

Sorry loghopper if my comment offends but the truth is two fold mate, i do have a lot of very good asain freinds who i trust but in the area i am now living the cold facts are tht i am surrounded by asains and i know the rep of the area.
Truth hurts mate i know but in this case i am saying nothing but cold hard facts !!
( plus i have guys who know guys yanno? And some of them are already getting whispers of activity about my bike)G.H.Allum0 -
Speed King - sorry to hear about the bike but I don't think it justifies that racist statement.
Be they white chavs, asians, whatever - they (who nick bikes) are all low life scum and it's hateful to have stuff pinched but racism isn't going to help.
What if it wasn't Asians? It could be anyone from any ethnic group.
Sympathy will evaporate if you make racist assumptions.0
