AuctionLamb Posted May 9, 2008 Posted May 9, 2008 nice bike!!! good luck with the cycling...you gonna need it cause those jack russels are one of the most tiring dogs you can have!
AndreZA Posted May 9, 2008 Posted May 9, 2008 I know how you can save 20gr already. Michelin Airlight tubes are only 40gr each.BBB makes carbon headset spacers that's milled out and only weighs 13gr for a set of 50mm spacers. http://www.bbbparts.com/products/bike_parts/headparts/bhp35.htmlAnd with Nokon or Alligator iLink cable sets you can save some more and not even mentioning the KCNC calliper set that's only 200gr. Oh by the way, it's recommended that you always have a spacer above your stem if you have a carbon steerer. So move that 3mm/5mm spacer to above the stem. Anyway, nice bike and many happy miles.
carlo_sg Posted May 9, 2008 Author Posted May 9, 2008 great bike. I like the bikes in the background also. Thanks!Ja, got three bikes in the lounge, and wheels lying everywhere...The Carrera in the background is for sale, somewhere in the classifieds

Also the Bontragers were relatively cheap at R76 each. Definately looking into Carbon Spacers. Where can I get those BBB ones in Cape Town?
Brad001 Posted May 9, 2008 Posted May 9, 2008 Nice bike I have the FELT F4 with Ultegra SL group, Fast and fun good luck.love the pup.
AndreZA Posted May 9, 2008 Posted May 9, 2008 More place where you can save. Handlebars = Controltech Razor edge Carbon 215g - 63gStem = Controltech Unit Carbon 135g - you don't list yoursSeatpost = Controltech iPost carbon 155g - 60gtop cap = Controltech 29g - 11g
desmondalie Posted May 9, 2008 Posted May 9, 2008 I bet you your bike for mine if you put it on a calibrated scale it will weigh more than 7.16kg.
AndreZA Posted May 9, 2008 Posted May 9, 2008 I bet you your bike for mine if you put it on a calibrated scale it will weigh more than 7.16kg. Talking to me? My wheels way more then 7.16kg. I just think that if you go to all the trouble to weigh and quote the weight of each item on your bike, you will get someone that will point out where you can save some more seeing that you are bragging about it. And you could have gotten it cheaper aswell.
carlo_sg Posted May 9, 2008 Author Posted May 9, 2008 I bet you your bike for mine if you put it on a calibrated scale it will weigh more than 7.16kg. Weighed it at TWO bike shops on those floor standing scales, both measured 7.160g
desmondalie Posted May 9, 2008 Posted May 9, 2008 How is it that the stem weighs nothing then, and you still get the figures to balance? I will beleive that when I see it. Send a pic to prove it. Also attach a recent calibration certificate for the scales used. Or you know what ? - Forget it. As long as you are happy with it and you can sleep at night, its fine with me.
