Nice, shame they have a weight limit on them to stop fat barsterds like me from using them
Killer price too.0 -
Yeah, Wiggle are doing the rims for £67 too, which means a 1200g wheelset for about £250, should be good.0

A set of roofrack crossbars for the big red fun bus. Only got to get a spare key and a replacement foot for one of the thule bike racks and we're sorted.Uncompromising extremist0

Not as light as exotic scandium, or KCNC Bone. Very nice looking though, I have a set kicking about round here. They have a small crush in the laquer so I'm too scared to use them lol.0 -

Yep, they are 25g heavier.
The theory is, that I can take the SC Bone / KCNC bar ends / grips off, and swap them for just the NEXT bars/grips (with no Bar Ends) when I want.... the beauty of Avid Matchmakers....
Although they have those clever little B.E.R.P.S bar ends don't they? So that you can (if you wish) use bar ends on them..
So effectively, I don't have to remove anything, just undo the matchmakers and stem and change over.
Yes, they are one of the best looking carbon bars out there.. (and believe me Matt, I have been searching for the 'right' bars.... seems like S-Works stopped making the 3k flatbar)0 -
jay12 wrote:560mm!! thats a bit narrow, my bars are 15cm wider
Yep, have to run short grips on, even with the matchmakers it's going to be tight.
That's why I want "2 different front ends", one slightly longer running bar ends, and the shorter set with no bar ends.0 -
10x 25mm patches and 8x 16mm patches. I don't rate the self adhesive ones at all.
Bolts for my Juicy 3 levers after I sheared the head on both of them thanks to the monkey at Halfords overtightening them.0 -

i seriously cannot see how people can run such stupidly narrow bars my old 660mm bars feel mega now ive gone to 710's and sometimes i even theyre too narrow :shock: some nice light 700mm flat bars would be ace on an xc race 8) 0 -
also on a side note, hope have just made my day and gone and made these beasts:
which will shortly be ordered *does happy dance* 0 -

ive ordered a pair of the above tech x2's in limited edition black/green, cos i was gonna get some normal x2's but then i saw these and knew i had to have them, they're a perfect match for my mojo's colour scheme 8)
edit: speaking of brakes and only one lever, anyone else seen the latest issue of MBR and the hope article, one of the guys is running both brakes, off one lever :shock: must be mad0 -

A big stash of American p**n DVDs are a great way to waste money.Visit Clacton during the School holidays - it's like a never ending freak show.

Decided to make the dialled albert geared again so naturally wanted a 2nd bike for SS:
20" inbred gen 2 in red
Superstar slick wheelset, black hubs white rims
Clarks CMD-8 Mechanical disc brakes
avid speed dial 7 levers
Deciding on forks, probs some reba 120's from Merlin, then the rest of the parts needed over the next month or so. Trying to build relatively cheaply, but not end up with a tank of a bike weight wise.
Summer single speed for lazy days riding.
1st time I've had 2 bikes on the go, usually just swap frames!0
