TheV Posted May 12, 2012 Share BTW - you getting an angleset, or some other headset? Naa.. instead of angle set i'm using a 160mm forks, v.s 150mm to give me the same effect as an angle-set The headset is one of the parts coming from the states, it's an inset/zs spec and rather hard to find with a 44 top and 56 bottom cup... So I got a really nice Chris King "GOLD" one....

And fork oil. Funky... And yeah, I get ya. They're farking expensive as well. Something like R 2k for an angleset. It's a fantastic idea, but damn...

It's a fantastic idea, but damn... Angle-set is expensive!!! Also trying to keep the weight down, because I intend to ride this bike ALL the time... not that 'im hung up on weight, but when you start adding Reverbs, 160/36mm forks, 20mm axle/142-12mm axles, all-mountain wheelsets etc etc the kg's clock up quickly.... I broke the bank and tried to get as much top noch components on sale... so all in all i'm hoping to have her be under 13kg's without pedals.. According to my calculations (confirmed by a competitive.com build basked she should weight about 12.87kg's with pedals, and a stans tubeless. Real-world I imagine it would be a bit more than what it says on paper.
