Haha, nice. When it comes to handlebars carbon is the way to go for weight saving. If you can drop R1000 on a bar, you can get a 125g easton ea70 bar, awesome handlebar. Stem I think is bikefit dependent. Rather go for a bike fit before you change the length. The norm is 100mm, but 80mm-100mm is not uncommon for xc use. Wishing you many happy miles, now go out and ride that bad boy!
Here's something I would like to know...How often do you guys get a flat? Never had one on a race. Burped my tire once. That's it. Stans or slime should always be runny, then I just carry a bomb an adapter with a multitool, chain breaker, cable ties and cash.
In my opinion this is a *** rule. There are people entering races who are FAR more dangerous not only to themselves but to their fellow riders. Why can't one ride with earphones? Cause you can't hear? Well what if the volume is low enough? I am almost certain that if there was statistics, that the main cause of crashes are not earphones, I reckon earphones wouldn't even be on that list.
I found those race kings to give absolutely no give. You are either on or off your bike. And thanks for all the advice. Cornering is something we neglect. Loving the 2.25 racing ralphs. Very nice tires!
Maybe post a actual pic? Would like to see how the light/laser work in real life. We invest in massive headlights for our bikes but not tail lights. Why? When someone drives you over it will probably be from the back. Why not then get a big ass lumen tail light as well? Going to make it impossible for the cars to NOT see me.
