Love it , well as they say you live and learn as I did not know that . OK it's yours , I will box it up tomorrow (today) and get a weight then consult one of the postage sites for a price .
You are dead right , Darren at MCT said the same to me when he did the Ohlins front cartridges . But as always we don't all like the same feeling in the way we set our bikes up . I loved em , and the German race series where they were developed obviously thought they were usefull as they were fitted to the winning bike .
OK Si they are yours , I got on really well with them , it made the front feel more planted . I will be in touch later on today . Must go to bed
Its fine buddy, These will go with a Lee's cycle link (Based on a HRC setup) Both do load up the front more but with the rear ohlins shock setup the bike can be balanced to compensate.
To give you a rough idea on weight saving when you switch to Titanium. Here's the differences for mine as a guide. Stock Ti Front wheel Spindle 468.6g 326g Rear wheel Spindle 486.5g 313g Swingarm spindle 485g 362g
Thanks glad I didn't put u off. If u have a pic mate of it all fitted could u post one up plz Thanks nutty. Haha he said that to u too how funny. He's made my bike ride so well I wouldn't question him. But I'm glad u did and tried it. It shows there's a few was to ride and ad few setups that work depending on feel. I'd like to try it but I don't like change and can't get goin unless it feels just right. Just wondered who ever thought to make those and try them ?
HRC have been making them for a while including the earlier blades. The genuine items cost a ££££'s but are easily copied at a fraction of the cost.
i cant see them making a huge or noticeable difference in riding myself though.they aren't spinning so your not gaining on the unsprung weight as you would with lighter wheels for example,unless I'm misunderstanding the physics behind it.but,if saving weight is your thing (and looking ultra bling) then go for it. I've got a set of rearsubframe Ti hex head bolts if anyones interested?
Quite right does not help directly with unsprung weight but helps the front as it reduces steering weight. If used with lighter wheels, caliper bolts, disc bolts and even a carbon mudguard. All this lightens up the front to sharpen up the steering.
