GIANT TEAM ONCE Fork Weight
 

Does anyone know what the weight is of the Giant TEAM ONCE Fork?

Thx

Hmmm........does weight really matter when stuff gets that light??

450g(got one myself)

Thx.

That is what I changed to on my OCR 3.

Weight only matters when stuff gets that light.

wrong.

Ah, yes. Now I see the error of my ways. Thank you for correcting me in such a clear, concise, complete and comprehensible manner.

:lol:

i was hoping it'd make you rethink your idea instead of just reading whatever i have to say.

i guess i was wrong.

anyways, my point was, when parts get that light, i believe the primary concern should be reliability. what good is a part thats a few grams lighter if it's nowhere near as reliable?

My idea was to make a flippant remark. If I now said "lighten up" it would be a pun. :rolleyes:

SWEET........I started a fight........SWEET SWEET...SWEET

No, there's no fight here. I was being a bit of an asinus sapiens but I actually agree completely with Fore's point.

If there was any point to my original comment it is this: when your bike weighs 37 lbs, you don't worry about titanium bolt kits. It's when you have a superlight bike that you start to worry about every gram. I said that weight is only a concern when parts get that light.

I didn't say that weight is the only concern. When parts get too light, they start to get scary. Durability, reliability and longevity are real issues with ultralight parts.

well if someone uses a fork for just one race it perhaps might be worth while to save some grams over safety (although I don't agree with it) However, it goes to the same idea that some people might have a light 'racing' wheelset, and train on a more durable wheelset. However with the current campy and shimano high end racing equipment, I don't believe you are sacraficing that much in terms of reliablity... but that is just MHO
