Unless you run them both at the same pressure inside... in that case it increases the fore/aft contact patch giving an overall a probably increase in contact due to the grip designkaiser":35luo07e said:Theory is the skinny tyres have less contact patch thus less tyre in contact with the ice thus less slippybe prepared to eat my dust!
legrandefromage":2oafdlew said:theres still weight to be saved - whats the bolt on the seat clamp?
Titanium, whole seat clamp weighs 9g
decent quality light weight bolts can be used on the stem clamp, seat clamp and canti mounts yet.
Still to do stem bolts, canti's are alloy and the seat clamp and post clamp are Ti
Are your nipples alu or brass?
Alu nipps, though they surprisingly added weight!
you could trim any spokes excess inside the wheel. Rim tape could be electricians tape.
duct tape is used all ready
Bolts holding levers too.
Also done![]()

if you get me drift. This also increases drag on the wheel. But should help in the mud.
and the idea of having all the padding in your gloves on not on the bike is very smart, grips would only start to slip in the wet anyway
Does look neat and tidy.
