  • No ISCG tabs on the N9, interesting. Like the baby blue though

  • ^ No, I'd have though they'd be standard on any "hardcore" hardtail by now?

  • ^^ Have you made a decision about the Honzo yet?

  • Pete I love that bike.
    I want to post it in porn but the pedals would mean I got murdered.

    haha, will get a better one soon & let you know, mate will be v. flattered

  • ^ There might be some confusion there :-)

  • Though having looked back up the top of the page, I think maybe I'm the confused one?

  • You might be confused, but have you heard what the thread up has done later with left pedals on upside-down? Bonkers.

  • I'm confused as ever :-)

  • Flexi shoe pedals^

    Also gold hubs? cable discs?

    A-

    #positivelythrowingbouldersaroundaglasshouse.

  • ^ Ha. Also I should have mentioned

    ^ What's wrong with these pedals then?

    They probably weigh more than your bike ;-)

  • Also gold hubs?

    Every Ogre needs some gold.

  • Not in its current franken state.

    I put some uber light, uber ugly, keywin pedals on the roadbike, together with a 0 deg stem to lose some steerer.

    Both improved the bike technically. But it will never see the porn thread again.

  • I did originally put my standard pedal of choice on there.

    But they looked so small on the bike.

  • I very nearly put my old Hope mono minis on too.

    I think I prefer the BB7s now though.

  • I never planned to run my weight weenie Hope mini pros on anything other than a weight weenie, rigid, SS, 29er. The rear disc is 140mm, and I'm over 85Kg.

    They're now on the franken bike. Going through brutal winter abuse, and being expected to reign in a 2.35" super aggresive rear with 400+ studs, and a 4.8" studded front.

    They work flawlessly. Even started to wonder if I should just chuck them on the fatbike, and sell what left of the Spotbrand. They really should'nt work so well at that weight.

    Came to my senses though. I'm too lazy a mechanic to swap the fatty to SS and back constantly, and I ***NEED ***to singlespeed. So I'm going to cut a few more grams and keep it as my short blast bike. Although the only things I can think of are lighter pedals (eggbeaters most likely), lighter cranks, and a lighter rear tyre. Unless I succome to carbon lust and replace my rims.

  • any help on this? http://www.lfgss.com/post3410810-1146.html
    From Road Wheel thread

  • go with the non SS pair, you'll be able to ride geared as wel and getting the chainline right is very easy with a cassette body and spacers in a ss kit

  • ^^ I've only ever used geared hubs and conversion kits for ss'ing. Just make sure you use a wide based cog on that alu freehub body!

  • @Smallfurry - Weight loss the old fashioned way.

  • @Smallfurry - Weight loss the old fashioned way.

    Going to do this, in his order....

    Lighter narrower rear tyre.
    Light eggbeaters.
    Crank arms.

    Also have a load of Ti bolts lying around. Might be able to do the stem. Would be aiming to get to 8 1/4 Kg. For no reason other than because.

  • ^ I know you've mentioned changing the cranks before. I have some Raceface Deus I no longer want if you're interested?

    175mm black. I have no idea of postage to Norway?

  • ^ I know you've mentioned changing the cranks before. I have some Raceface Deus I no longer want if you're interested?

    175mm black. I have no idea of postage to Norway?

    Hmmmm. Interested in principle. Actually run 175 on the SS.

    I'll check the weight of what I'm running....

  • Arozine cranks with steel axle = 770g
    RaceeFace with steel axle = 880g

    Not sure if theres a BB included in the Raceface crankset weight. Plus it is a better crankset. But want to go lighter really.

    Cheer though.

  • ^^ No rush, they're only gathering dust at the moment.

    It's these ones btw ( 2007 model )

    Just let me know and I'll check the weight. I think they were about 530 grams without chainrings and bolts?

    Edit - or BB
