BikerBoy Posted January 10, 2009 Share Man, that is going to be awesome. When are you getting it. Sounds like it's going to be a great bike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bike Mob Posted January 10, 2009 Share I have a Toupe on my road bike and it's awesome, I put one on my Carbon HT and it's a little rough and I get chafed... just not enough padding I think! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
singletrackmind Posted January 10, 2009 Share Im getting the frame and wheels on monday, have the rest now. The saddle feels great to me but will have to test it out i guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
no calves Posted January 10, 2009 Share good luck with kcnc.... THEY BREAK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! nice to get your bke uber lite but risky. ask adriaan louw (top junior xc rider) he will confess. get tompson, it is extra tough and is only a few grams heavier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
no calves Posted January 10, 2009 Share and get a stylo crank, claimed weight only 80g heavier than the nior. Ps. do not get the kcnc or airezine BBs they are made with bling in mind not purposly built. they last 1000kms tops Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racman Posted January 10, 2009 Share Congrats STM! Of course I know it's for free but in my opinion the Commencal looked nicer. Enjoy the build Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1kTT Posted January 11, 2009 Share good luck with kcnc.... THEY BREAK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! nice to get your bke uber lite but risky. ask adriaan louw (top junior xc rider) he will confess. get tompson' date=' it is extra tough and is only a few grams heavier[/quote']i would stay far far away from kcnc stem and handlebars. ?my mountainbike stem cracked through one on the bolt mounting points and the bars had big indentations in them where the stem clamped and also the bar ends joined. they had never been overtightened and were an accident just waiting to happen. ?if you do use, be sure to check regularly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
singletrackmind Posted January 11, 2009 Share hmmm never heard that before but thanks everyone. I can get the follwing stuff: thomsonKCNCaerozine I see candice neethling uses an aerozine crank and hers looks fine though and also consider im only 55kgs hey. I dont like the thomson stems, will probly just keep my WCS then and EC90 bars but still wanting that KCNC seatpost, will think about thomson as well. Racman - I agree the commencal was an uber cool looking bike, nothing else like it anywhere but i still think this new bike will look better once completed. No Calves - im looking at the different cranks, im using an aerozine BB as i was given 1 brand new in the box, will change when it breaks. How much do the stylos cost?

singletrackmind Posted January 13, 2009 Share Got the wheels yesterday, put the tubeless kenda karmas on them and disc rotors(alligator windcutter 160mm) and KCNC skewers (blue) They are super light!!!!!! just waiting for my sram pg990 cassette to arive now at the LBS. Frame didnt arive yesterday, hopefully today. I set the commencal up to be a lightweight XC bike, this will also be used as a marathon bike so have to change a few things. BUT - This should be almost a full KG lighter then the commencal i had/have. If budget allows, might go for a DT swiss fork as well (always wanted 1 of those) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_BBi Posted January 13, 2009 Share Sounds so cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turtlek Posted January 13, 2009 Share STM do not go for that fork i have heard nothing but complaints about DT forks rather go for a sid or a reba for that sort of cash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
singletrackmind Posted January 13, 2009 Share had very bad experience with Reba SL, probly wont bother upgrading the fork, this 1 is perfect for now anyway. The Reba SL i used for Sabie blew in the 1st 5kms of the race... what a disaster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
