...In the words of Mikee...

"get on with it then..."

 

[02gf74]

so a few additional bits turned up recently, so I got out there and got them fitted...

kcnc stem - minus 17g
Conti Twister tyres - minus 150g for the pair
Foss tubes - minus 80g for the pairSteinbach brake levers - minus 65g for the pair.

I could have sold you some Foss tubes, fitted, but unridden quite cheaply.

Be aware that if you fit them in an oversize tyre, they will fail when riddensince they do not stretch evenly like rubber/butyl inners (no need to ask how I know that).

Cheers fella,

I just like gears too much, and a few bits became available that allowed me to run gears and keep it under 8kg cheaply...
