Thanks mtbking didn't think of that. Anyone cut their seatpost to shave a couple of grams? I checked my seatpost last night and I about 8cm past the min insert!

Is cutting a kcnc seatpost the same? Anyone ever cut theirs to lose weight (been looking at weightweenies.com!)

Thanks Johan. Weightweenies made them out to be a form of weight saving, but I was thinking about the practicality of them.

I was reading about them on weightweenies. Just out of interest, anyone used them before, are they worth it?

Price wise how are? I know the Giant sits at approx R25K, because I was looking at it myself!

If weight is an issue with you, my Planet X with 105 weighs the same as Giants and Specialized with 105, BUT at half the price!

Post a pic of both off their websites. Easier for people to judge if they see a pic!

Hey guys I successfully did the ghetto conversion a couple months back, but looking closely at my tyres some of the tube that I trimmed seems to of 'slipped' under the rim. Now I know Stans conversion kit does not stick out from under the rim like the ghetto does, so will the tube not sticking out effect the seal? Hope this makes sense!

Thanks mampara! Nope no downhill runs, just going on my Raleigh RM5 for Giba and the like!

Hey guys could I use this stem on my mtb? Thanks! http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Images/Models/Original/16367.jpg

Astana I'm happy so I would reccommend it. Check with Kiwi on the guarantee. The pearl paintjob gives it an awesome minimalist look though which I love. Combine it with white handlebar tape and a white saddle (which I'm trying to do) and it'll look awesome!

I'm very happy with my purchase! PM me if you have any specific queries! Being my first carbon bike I don't have anything to compare it with, but its beautifully smooth.

I just got the bike and it was creaking after the first ride, so they can't be worn already. What else could it be?

Hey guys my headset is making a creaking noise when I ride. I have taken the stem off and loosened the bolt inside and retightened it (but not too tight). Still it creaks! Any explanation?

Real racey looking! What does it weigh? Wicked colour scheme goes with the wheels!

Take an extra tube. The canisters are for inflating your tube quickly without having to use a hand pump. Another option if you want to avoid punctures (but not 100%) is to go tubeless. Search "Ghetto tubeless conversion" for a cheap option that works.

The black and white colour scheme is awesome- same thing I'm going for! But damn lightweight white saddles are not cheap!

WW you gotta post a pic! I wanna see what this baby looks like! What about a lighter saddle?

Thanks Wallee I'll give them a call, they had 100mm in stock, shall check if they got 90mm! Brighter-Lights I just gave Steve a call and he was very helpful- thanks!

After ride bump.

Hey guys anyone know the price of this KCNC stem? I'm looking for a 90mm, my 100mm I have now is a bit long. Thanks. http://www.kcnc.com.tw/Web/bigpics/Sc%20wing.JPG
