  1. I currently have the old Shimano 540 on there, they are a few years old, 352g Then the option are Shimano xt 343g Shimano xtr 325g, not really alot between these 2 and then there is the look Qurtz carbon at 230g, are any of you using these look pedals and are there anything negative about them, do they clip in and out fairly easy Advice would be much appreciated
  2. yes, i still have the original grips that i dont like too much, i will change to esi and see how it goes, is it that sort of faom grip that most riders are using at the moment What are they like in wet conditions?
  3. Hey guys Thanks for all the advice on this topic Like i said in my first post this bike was never 10.2kg like they say on the website That with shitty rocket ron tyres and also in the smallest frame without pedals i have bottom of the range shimano pedals, that i like but my first change will be to carbon look pedals i have already changed my tyres and i will rather be a bit heavier but not wate time with flats in races Wapad gave some good advice so i will prob go the seatpost stem and handle bar way first, i am happy with the wheels and wont change that for now Any idea what good in scanduim and where and what websites to look at? Maybe links if you have Thanks
  4. i must be honest , the wheels seems to be fine but the brakes can be very noisy i have read some reports on the Formula 1's and they say it not the best for overall wet conditions These brakes are very noisy, but i though it might be to do with dirt in the pads Thanks for the info
  5. so you dont rate these brakes as too good? Thanks
  6. <p>I have had this bike for a few months and i am really enjoying it, it's an size xl and with the tubless and heavier wheels it is about 10.9kg's i was a bit lighter but with the rocket ron tyres i had endless tyre problems , these maxi icon's so far has been great and i will also use them for the Pioneer This bike climbs really well and i love it on the xc races, although it a big bike and a big size i mange it well I am 1.93 and weighs 87kg's If you had to change anything on this to make it more racing fit what would it be and why the weight seems to be ok for me but lighter might work i just wont know for now Would you change to a bigger rotar for example ? Please tell me what you think?
