Alu drivers - they are finally back!

<< < (3/6) > >>

weedbix:
Don't tempt fate hugh :>

Stoked:
Don't know if it was a typo but dan's had the alu one as $1 cheaper than the steel.  So it's not just weight savings it's also easier on the wallet lol

mattywatty:
Gross. This reminds me of the 2006ish era when companies hadn't quite figured out the really good heat treating techniques people tried to save weight with $80 titanium stem bolts and holes drilled in frames. What I think is dumb is that folding tires (which I thought were a good effective way to save a lot of weight) are basically extinct now because people thought they're were too expensive, but here we are re-introducing a dumb, fragile part that will save like 2 ounces.

JFax:
Folding tires dead? Noo, I have been running them since they came out and I think most of my buds are too

Sasper:
I am too on khe folding tire. For me the tiny street tires last plenty and I like how my bike feels compared to others with monster tires and half the extra weight.

Ti stem bolts are also cool.not just to sabe weight but shine like tailwhips.

I can agree with drilled frames.
