I agree with this and would point out also that the numbers of carbon super duper rear mechs snapped in half on ebay is quite alarming :?
X9 is more than adequate for the rear and XO for the shifters.
Though i run X9 shifters and XO rear
in my defence its an older cnc alloy cage .v12jat":10i83gza said:the carbon inner cage/jockeys look great! what do they wear like though!?
kmc x9 gold ti chain has just arrived too
Will have wait till the spring to find out. I seem to have bought a gold chain as well. Was expecting a silver

17 grams?
just blow your nose before you go for a ride and you'll lose that much!
skip breakfast and have a good poo and you could and you could chuck a kiddie seat on and not notice! :roll:

I've heard that so many times. And the riders body weight makes no difference to how a bike rides. A heavy bike rides like a heavy bike if it has a light rider on it.
When my Trimble was 23 lb it was totally different when it was 19 lb.
17grams makes no difference on it's own but when added to the loss i've got on changing all bolts etc then it added to 4 oz off the weight of the Trimble. Add this to the weight lost on cranks, brakes, brake levers, bar, seat, seat post etc My Trimble will be 15 lb and once the bank has recovered i will lighten the wheels & stem to get the Trimble near 14 lb
