what hubs are you running with those olympic rims?
lovely bike
The hubs are Tune King/Kong hubs they are very light.
I,m not sure how much the bike weighs as yet but i,ll be weighing soon to find out
Cheers to all for kind comments
How do you get on with the rear hub? I have heard of many reliability issues with Tune's rear disc hubs. Once the new DT carbon rims are out I was going to lace them to a Tune Princess front hub but stick with Chris King for the rear, even though it is a bit heavier.
well rear hub is holding up well so far.but i dont jump the bike and i weigh in it at 185 lbs
the handle bar and stem combo weigh 240 grams ish if i remember correctly their is lighter set ups out there but i got them at a real good price.i my opt for a lighter set up and demote them to the girlfreinds bike in the future to save a few more grams :roll:
being able to demote a one piece carbon stem and handlebar is a good position to be in! I was thinking of changing my ritchey stem and easton ec70 combo when I upgrade the other parts of my bike. Ideally I would like something a bit wider and lighter and it looks like a syntace might be the way forward
The Syntace F99 stem? i just wouldnt know where to find one here in the UK?
Ive been looking at the Extralite stuff very light yet exspensive and also KCNC stuff light yet affordable.
I was thinking of the Syntace handlebars. As for the stem, I would like something stiffer than my Ritchey but without a big weight penalty. I thought 31.8mm might be the way to go, but I wasn't convinced when I had a go on a Thomson stem in that size.
