Carbon Handlebar Tubes? --- Verdict is IN

Ekraft: Total loss or no?

[ekraft84]

Yes, but I don't know if I'd recommend it.  I've been burnt by it more times than it's helped me.  :)  I'd do that last.  If you want to find some trick SV parts, check out www.brgracing.com.  KC is the guy to talk to there.  He's great to work with.  Tell him you talked to me.

I've also thought about getting the bike measured.  More than just having Max work on my forks.  Not sure how much of a difference I would see, but it'd be interesting to do.

[Nate R]

Yeah.

I see from your site pics you gutted the harness? Save what, 3-5 lbs there?

I've seen BRG's stuff. Definitely got some good things, there. That subframe is nice!

Man, I'm still kinda awestruck that you got 330 lbs without doing any real special stuff.  :D

You can email me if you want.  I can give you some more details.  Our definition's of special may vary.  :)

I thought they would've come with bar ends and caps. Guess not.  :-/

Anyway, they save 112 grams per pair over Woodcraft bars, if I reuse the woodcraft bar ends and plugs. Looks like the IDs are a bit different, so I'd have to make my own plugs. I'll try and make some lighter ones.  ;)

This is almost exactly .25 lbs. Now we know!  :D ;)
