    Good call. Just wish they made ones that would fit XTR shifter pods (and Avid brake levers). :(

    Brand new from Formage le Grande (The Big Cheese) in 32/22

    It's not that one, it's the better one (+ has KCNC goodness in the shape of bolts)

    100mm stem was 96g, bars (un-cut) were 118g on my scales. I'd recommend taking out the stem bolts and putting s smear of grease/ti-prep on the underside of the heads. Mine made a horrendous creaking sound...

    Should be able to take a fair whack of weight off the front end by:
      KCNC bars KCNC stem KCNC grips Matchmakers Plus all the Ti and Alu bolts - STEEL - "How VERY dare you" :lol:

    I realise that at 1540gr my wheels are not the lightest, but I want a little more robustness given my weight. Plus I really like them, very well made.

    Just ordered a pair of formula the one brakes. £292 brand new and posted from a french ebay seller. The cheapest I could find them anywhere in the uk was about £200 each end, so I think that's a pretty darn good deal!

    Unless they have stopped selling them, Formula were selling a full set for 200 quid :wink:

    this is correct. they were selling them, but they were the older 2009 (i think) model. something like 50grams heavier each end, and not quite as powerful apparently.
