Marius Posted May 11, 2009 Share Oij fellow Weight weenie pansies, I'm thinking of switching over to disc brakes. So, what are the lightest one's I can buy?? The weight of a complete front and back incl rotor, bolts, levers ect will be appreciated??I like the look of the Mini Hope X2's, Formula One, Avids Ultimites Carbons and the Heynes one's, so the brand don't really matter, just the weight of the complete system.

Mackie Posted May 11, 2009 Share Real weight weenies dont use brakes, just stick your foot into the spokes when you want to stop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndreZA Posted May 11, 2009 Share I think Magura has the lightest. The ones Sauser is using. He is a real weanie when it comes to weight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marius Posted May 11, 2009 Share Thx Ninja Manic, thx for the weights, I'm workingmy way thru CRC Disc brake section and you can't reall ytrust the weights they are quoting. The weights are just for one disc brake right, either a front or Bake, of is that the combined front and rear weights??  The Formula R1's?? I don't see them on CRC site, they only have the Formula The One Brakes.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NinjaManiak Posted May 11, 2009 Share They are the manufacturers published weights, and is for 1 brake (160mm rotor). You can bet the actual weights will be different.They are $360 each at the following location:http://www.competitivecyclist.com/mountain-bikes/product-components/2009-formula-r1-disc-brake-5724.725.0.htmlMore pictures etc here:http://forums.mtbr.com/showthread.php?t=502981 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
