[RodTi]

 

Guess it had to happen huh?

Or is this not so new for a mtb?

 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

The new Look 986 Mtb....

 

 

Have a look at the entire article at: http://seaotter.mtbr.com/2007/04/28/look-introduces-the-986-mountain-bike/<?:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

with Look road pedals?  interesting ...   ;-)

Well, Scott has an ISP mtb out as well - the top of the line Spark, if I am not mistaken...

Scott's Spark Ltd also's got it. Some manufacturers say that if it gets damaged, you can cut it down and use a normal collar and pin set-up.

I aint chancing that if its carbon

[RodTi]

What's that they say about carbon fibre splinters having to be removed??

 

Something about hours of fun....

Me think these seat posts are a *** idea .

 

1. Sometimes I need to drop seat to load bike

 

2. Sometime when I do serious tecnical stuff I wanna drop saddle

 

3 . CARBON !!!

[TitusTi]

Some guys are doing it in Ti as well, Moots and Merlin, I think.

[scotty]

Cant understand what the benefits would be, other than wanting to be different.

[TitusTi]

It makes the bike feel more like it's your's, well that's how I feel. Got the Giant TCR ISP. No real ride difference.

[dirtrider]

From what I understand it is totally a weight weenie thing . Saving a few grams .

hehe, definitely a question of MEASURE Twice and CUT once.

The right way is actually measuring three times, cutting three times.
