Review weights

Hi,

Under the 'full specification' on the reviews, you normally include a weight - is this the weight you weighed the item at or the quoted one by the manufacturer?

I only ask as I saw on the FSA Orbit MX Headset review here that shows the weight as 124g but the FSA site claims it's 95g. I always take the manufacturer's weights with a pinch of salt as they might have left off the topcap or something to get the weight under a point they feel is important. Does your weight include all the parts of the headset?

Cheers

well you are looking at a current product while looking at a review from 2009 so many thing could have changed.

According to this there were no other changes from 2009 to 2010 other than the colours and BikeRadar states that its 96g in 2010. 96g with no changes in 2010 means 96g in 2009 also. Therefore, the product reviewed in my link above would have arrived claiming to be 96g.
