    I’m waiting on a set of the 4″ snakeskins. Schwalbe UK keep asking but no word as yet…

    22lb Beargrease anyone?

    A set of these could knock over a kilo off the bike over a set floaters. Not a bad upgrade at all.

    Yep,^ that’s what I’m thinking.
    I could build up a wheels set but just swapping to these will save 1lb per wheel.
    Not bad for £160 ish quid ( plus a few quick back when I sell the current tires )

    Cheers all

    I was planning on building something similar but I’m still not 100% sure how much I’ll use it.
    Having a cheap, light ish fatty will do for now, and these tires will go along way in helping.

    Gee’s is damned impressive I must say! It feels a lot lighter than it is too, as you take one look and think ‘well that’ll weigh a ton…’

    I want one.

    Chinese carbon fatty frames n forks don’t cost much now – 1300g frame and 600g fork for under £450.
    Not seen any reviews but also not spent much time searching for them either 🙂

    Soooo tempted

    Yes but mine isn’t fragile…

    That you’ve yet to discover! I’d have no qualms getting a Chinese one, for something which is more about the novelty than anything!

    gee

    Do it. Chinese carbon frame and 65mm rims with 1×10 wouldn’t be more than a couple of pounds more than mine.

    We can be fat together.

    Wedding first. Then bikes. It’s my life mantra at the moment! 😉

    £340 shipped. Must resist…

    I wouldn’t be buying a Chinese carbon fatty just yet, those tha have received them seem to be having problems !
