It is all in the spindle type, and pedals.
That's like saying that this bike is lighter than that one because it has better/lighter parts. Ti parts are always lighter than chromo parts. A Ti spindle takes off a lot of weight.

Point is bikes will all be different weights(with the same common parts-rims,frames,forks) depending on whatelse you throw on.

My T1 is at about 31lbs now, with 36's(both 14 mm axels). A friend has the same basic bike but runs Flys, Wombolts and 48's with 7KA's and his bike is 3lbs lighter.

It's all in setup.

I think this calls for Beerman's "captain obvious" picture.

True, and Profiles have an even better warranty. But how many people do you honestly know who have NEEDED the warranty?

premiumbmx2005 01-02-07 04:43 PM
a few people, but they didnt bother warrenting(sp) them just because they lasted so long.

Yep. Believe it or not, some people have broken Profiles.

Damn fat people. They ruin everything. When you see there isn't any water left in your local pool, look for a mammoth jumping into the pool repeatedly.

You don't need to post a pic. It doesn't matter.

Why would you post that? We got the idea. You broke a crank arm... I cracked my pedals once, but you don't see me posting pictures of it. Honestly, no one really cares.

Because someone asked to see it.

I didn't see anyone ask to see it.
