they have a lot of the light weight parts that fairwheels does just normally cheaper.

how much do you have to spend at fairwheels to get free shipping? did you get the carbon pop top cap?

Soloist Assassin

Yeah I ordered it, the two cages, and two purist bottles. $150 is free shipping, I spent $160. So it was like getting one bottle free. They don't seem to have the selection Fairwheel has. I did notice, they sell KMC chains a good bit cheaper however.

Soloist Assassin

Have you thought about the New Ultimate seatpost collar? It is a few bucks more, but lighter than the KCNC one, and maybe a bit better looking.

M_FactorX19

no your are right they dont but the things they do are priced well.

bikeisland has better prices and free shipping on all orders. KMC X10SL $54.99

yeah i have but i thought the kcnc collar looked better and seemed to be better built. im sure both work just fine though so its a tough call.

M_FactorX19

i wonder if this kcnc collar would work? i dont know why it wouldnt since normally MTB stuff is stronger than for road. its also lighter at 11g and i think it looks better.

Good find, that is getting bookmarked!

M_FactorX19

ive ordered quiet a few things from theml and have always get things really fast. they seem to have some of the best prices on the things they have. not to mention free shipping!

Soloist Assassin

That is nice. It looks better than my KCNC collar on my Trek. Good find once again.

M_FactorX19

soloist assassin are these the same bars you got? what did you say yours weighed? did you get them cheaper than in the link? i might order these instead of the 3T ergonova team bars.

i still think the ergonovas look better and both have the reach and drop im looking for with the same style drops.

before buying my Woodman Deathgrip SL Ti I found this other version:

https://www.woodmancomponents.com/Web...20;%2002:40:30

Deathgrip TCSL Ti (specially made taller clamp for carbon frames).


it has a taller collar height 14mm. And is more beefy at only one gram more. 11g claimed.

Sadly I couldn't find any online for sale yet. Their Woodman Post EL (carbon and Al) all ship with a machined aluminum cradle now so actual weights are 10g more than previous weights. I guess people were breaking their old carbon cradles. Plus the post and clamp seem to be really strong & beefy as is.

I'm happy with the weights so far though. 132g for my 31.6 Woodman EL Post and 10g for the Deathgrip SL Ti Seatclamp (34.9).

Well done ... you might want to spray the steerer tube black ...

Soloist Assassin

That weight is definitely wrong. My 44cm K Wings were 271g.

M_FactorX19

i already have a can of paint just for that lol. its funny i about said something when i posted those pics. that is one of my pet peeves!! so sorry it will be changed soon i just havent had time to spray it.

well i just ordered a pair of castelli bibs off bonktown so i guess new bars will have to wait till fri. i guess ill order the skewers and maybe the collar today.

M_FactorX19

woah yeah i think ill go with the 3T ergonovas. they should be right at the 200g mark but are about $50 more.

Soloist Assassin

I will say I like those heavy ass bars, even if they are stupid heavy. They feel, and look great. The internal routing is cool too. So far I think they are worth the weight penalty.

M_FactorX19

ok just placed my order for Kcnc skewers (red) and the Kcnc sc11 mtb seatpost collar (red) from stealthcycling.

M_FactorX19

yeah ive heard good things about them for sure. if i was in the 13lb range like you i probably wouldnt care about the weight but im hoping to save 100g or so with new bars. i also think the 3T bars will go with everything better since i have a 3T stem and seatpost. they are also the size and shape i want.

Soloist Assassin

I understand. The only reason I considered them, is they were only the difference of 13.29, and 13.42.

ill agree ill likely get there. the Force chainrings are actually quiet light (i know that thanks to soloist assassin) so i wouldnt save to much weight there but they would look better in black/carbon thats for sure. red chainring bolts would also look good. i doubt i would buy the bottle cage bolts thogh since the ones i have are already light and you normally dont see them. i do plan to do some derailleur tunning though. first will likely be the pulleys then the bolts.

thanks for the sugestions

Not weight, a color thing. Also, I'm interviewing for a job in Memphis. Hopefully some good riding there! I'm just trying to feed the addiction!
