Cranks are 177gr PER crank, so 354gram for a crankset.
Still, thats light and they look nice to
The light hub looks to be EXTREMELY light Wonder how they pulled that one off.
Ohw, I think they didn’t count the bearings on the hub…
New XTP frame looks like it will cut open your shins, so thats not good
New Street cranks look hot
They take the bearings off their hubs, weigh them and then claim they are somehow lighter than the KH ti hub when weighed with bearings and, I believe spacers and bolts.
They would be lighter, even without doing this, so why resort to such duplicity? Bet they don’t last 5 minutes as well unless you never intend leaving the ground.
Pitfigher 3 looks good though, as long as the weight includes the bracket at the end
Wow, those are beautiful CAD renderings! I especially like the seat post and XTP frame designs. Can’t wait to see if they make it to production and how the actual products turn out.
The new alum seatpost looks like a plastic casting
Most current posts are made from pieces of rolled steel or alum, then welded together.
To be made of alum and look like these they would have to be cast, or cut from billet aluminum blocks, which would be crazy expensive. Cast would be be to heavy I think, so these parts are sorta a puzzle.
The other stuff looks pretty good. Have they sorted out the ISIS compatibility issue ? They could have the best cranks ever, but they won’t sell many if they don’t join the rest of the party.
On the original forum post it says that they have already released a new flat rim that is 32 hole, and that the 32 hole hub will be released. The only thing they say about a date is vaguely September 2009.
Their new stuff is all real ISIS. To be honest i have an old k1 reinforced hub (old enough to not say reinforced on it) and some k1 light cranks, and they fit on a moment hub and the moments fit on the hub. The only thing to be carefull is to use the right spacers and bearings and the k1 cranks needed to be tighten extremely hard on the moment hub to get a tight fit, but get a long allen key and some grease!
