  • i have token njs part (DA lockring) and want token carbon and token titanium part. may go for something like this:


    and then titanium seatpost clamp or something.

  • Ha, what about carbon fibre anti-abrasion pads?!

  • you mean like frame protectors? i have no rubbing cables.

    just take a shit before you go for a ride.
    much cheaper.

    Surely the screw in that Carbon-Ti headset cap is titanium, thus satisfying the need for a token Ti part?

    My next Token carbon part will be a pair of these

  • you must be well excited.

  • comme ca?

  • those boats = win.

  • that would look super awesome on a steamroller.
    it would totally make you loads faster too.

  • Surely it would make you slower?

  • Photo hosting fail

  • JeanStain fail...

    perhaps, will have to check that out. if so, win!

    edit: https://www.sigmasport.co.uk/app/secure/ProductDetails.aspx?FamilyID=2982 says "alloy" bolt so i guess not.

    edit 2: http://carbon-ti.com/index.php?p1=prodotti&MCat=HC says it an alu bolt... blast.

  • Nothing to stop you using a Ti bolt in place of the stock alloy one

  • £500!

  • Waits for feedback from either Eggscoble or Mitre Tester

  • OK here's the feedback; integrated bar/stems look pretty, but I haven't seen one yet which is really an improvement on separates*, even assuming that the integrated system provides exactly the same hand position.

    *Except the full-custom, team-only, GB squad kit, obviously.

  • Token cages never materialised, got these Profile ones instead. Much cheaper, much heavier, match my Look 586 better

  • It look like a hip hop slave commuter bar with mount on the front for light.

  • kicks off slippers

    I rest my case.

    Clearly they will stop manufacturing them after that damning indictment.

    Or perhaps not...

    TBH I wouldn't bother with them due to the lack of adjustment, but for time trial/triathlon tossers....

    close, but no cigar.

    its a mount for a cycle computer.

  • Oh Miss Maple!
