Little-Ben Posted November 16, 2009 Posted November 16, 2009 i have always wondered about these scales accuracies, you should try this one scale i know of, it takes about 10percent of the weight off haha, i like his scale, i think a really good quality fishing scale would be best
Weight Weenie Posted November 17, 2009 Author Posted November 17, 2009 Put up a new shot of the beast in its natural habitat - Groenkloof.Looks bettter and more balanced with the blue bottle cages as well...
StokedAboutSpokes Posted November 17, 2009 Posted November 17, 2009 where did your frame crack/ where is it starting to crack? I've got the 2008 team model and it looks like its starting to crack on the upper tube close to the seat post.
Weight Weenie Posted November 17, 2009 Author Posted November 17, 2009 Dude I can't believe it ! Mine cracked in the same place,. where the top tube and seat tube meet, its kind of a bumpy there? My current frame is starting to crack on the underside of the 'triangle' piece. the shop said it was cosmetic but still replaced the frame. It looks to only be the clear coat, but you never know...Irks me coz I don't want a frame in another colour
StokedAboutSpokes Posted November 17, 2009 Posted November 17, 2009 well you are lucky, I bought mine a month old from a sponsered rider that got a new sponser so i have no guarentee. How do you check if it really is cracked? carbon crunchy2009-11-27 02:29:11
Weight Weenie Posted November 17, 2009 Author Posted November 17, 2009 Dunno, do post, sure the teck okes will know
Weight Weenie Posted December 23, 2009 Author Posted December 23, 2009 just added a Hope ceramic bb in blue, Jagwire Ripcord outers to match the fork in SID blue, blue cassette lockring and blue jockey bolts. Looking friggin sweet, only need a blue seat clamp and it's done, will post some pics tomorrow.
Overlord Posted December 25, 2009 Posted December 25, 2009 What is the weight of the frame only. No other bits and bobs on the frame.
Weight Weenie Posted January 8, 2010 Author Posted January 8, 2010 Im unsure, haven't weighed it myself and can't find anything on the net... Gt says its made to be a bit stronger frame, maybe 1200 to 1400g ?
Zaskar Posted January 15, 2010 Posted January 15, 2010 My large 2008 Team carbon frame weighs in at around 1560g, but thats with the bottle cage bolts and the seat clamp etc all fitted.
stringbean Posted January 15, 2010 Posted January 15, 2010 I thought it would be a bit lighter.The Flash weighs 1080g with seatpost clamp and bottle cage bolts.
StokedAboutSpokes Posted January 15, 2010 Posted January 15, 2010 where did you get the blue jockey bolts?
Weight Weenie Posted January 17, 2010 Author Posted January 17, 2010 Oh sorry I read wheels. got the bolts at Fritz Pienaar Brooklyn, KCNC makes them.
