Gary sometimes the easiest weight loss is going with the lightest battery possible.
I love quoting myself. FI is probably going to need the battery and junx. forgetaboutit.See if you can switch to kickstart? You'd lose the battery and the starter then by going lossless.
isn't that going a bit crazy, and expensive to say the least for a rather small weight reduction?Krause racing markets what they call a titanium mx chain, not sure which parts of it are titanium, but they claim it is the lightest on the market. It is not cheap but is not unreasonable I believe they also make titanium rear rotors for the big 4 mx bikes. maybe they could be adapted.
I wasn't just on about that particular post, I was also looking at the Ti spring and rotors.I know this has nothing to do with shaving weight, but I’ve got about 400 miles on my SMC now and I love this bike! No problems whatsoever, but the gearing feels wrong for street riding / canyon carving / running from the law. My thoughts right now are to drop 1 tooth off the front and add 2 or 3 teeth to the back. Anybody care to share your thoughts on this?
