I can't find any white Magura Loiuse Carbon brakes with the venti CL rotor :(

Just got paid too :(

Don't suppose anyone can see them? CRC had them a week ago but they're not on the site anymore :(

    Ben, buy some 6 bolt adapters. I run them on my XTR hubs and the weight nothing at all, they are lighter than the 6 bolts!!!

    You are not limited to centerlock then. ;)

    Not really, I only bought ceterlock because XTR doesn't come in any other flavour. THe adapters dont add *complication* to the aesthtetics, and look like part of the hub. BUT I have the DT Swiss ones and they are pricey, I don't know what the cheaper ones look like.

    They don't defeat the purpose as they (obv) are centerlock themselves

    OR, sell the rotors and put a bit more money to purchasing some centerlocks.

    Or stop moaning ;) :P

    For me it was the day I thought I was going to finish my IFT then realised I was missing one ferrule for the gear cables and the garage floor gremlins took one of my brake lever mounting bolts.

    I used to have this problem. Now, I place an old bedsheet on the floor, under the bike when fettling. Stops anything rolling away. And, if you do lose something on there, just pick up all four corners and magically the bit your missing finds itself in the middle of the sheet.

    ive never found bike building stresfull bikes are the easiest machines i have ever had to build or repair.

    i do find it very therapeutic though, i particularly enjoy frame swaps.

    Yep, agree with this, I love fettling with bike, very relaxing.

    What 'stresses' me, if you want to call it that, is deciding what components I want. But on the fipside, I love getting the card out and web-shopping/bargain hunting!!!!

    That's what they tell you but they actually weigh 30g each - 6 bolts weight about 12g. I've got the DT Swiss ones.

    Unless they have changed them, that can't be right. No way do they weigh that each? I can just tell by holidng them.... Im not stripping them off to weigh them LOL

    Mine are 2007 versions, unless they have started to make recent ones differently...

    and is that weight based on Ti bolts or steel (which is what DT referes to in comparison)

    :D

    Steel bolts are more than 2g each I can tell you that for nothing.

    I was shocked/annoyed too :wink: Had them about a year or so. They were advertised as being lighter than 6 bolts like you said.

    Steel bolts weigh about 12g for 6 - ti are about half that i believe.

    Ti ones are also 100% sexier than steel.

    Oh no, let me pay you.. sorry couldn't resist a Peter Kay joke :D

    12 x steel t25 rotor bolts are about 26g, so a little over 2g per bolt, and about 34g lighter overall than two DT Swiss adapters :(
