Don't think i'd use such thin wall a TT on that kind of bike. It seems to me that stability on unknown surfaces, down hills with less shimmy potential (espically with any extra weight on the rack or bars) and less concerns about transporting the bike would rank as higher needs then the once or or of saved weight.

Why people with nice paint jobs or carbon frames use behind the car racks that hang the bike by the Tt escapes me some times. Andy.
