Round (as opposed to the heavier sawtooth) Hope floating rotors for me everytime, anything lighter is just being irresponsible with your health IMO.
The Innolite rims are available under a number of brands, MSC being one. Will stick with the ZTR methinks, two years and they only have a few minor dings in them.
About 150 lbs with me on it, with camelbak 
I'm in two minds, part of me wants to try them, but then I fully expect them to be shit, so it's a bit silly to spend the money on them!
fizzer,i also have an s works carbon ht.unfortunately(weight wise),it's got 06 stumpy fsr comp components on it(cannot yet afford to upgrade).so my bike is way heavier than what it can be,(but it still rides great,inc 120mm fox float!!!)
How does it handle the climbs with a 120mm fork? Mine has Sid World Cups at 100mm and I wouldn't want them any longer. Dropped to 85mm for racing.
Once you can afford the new kit the weight should fly off.
You can have a shot of my Scrubs when im down Njee 
hello fizzer,i must admit,that it does feel like it's going to wheelie,if the ascent is steep.i would like to reduce the travel down to 100mm,when i can.in all other respects though,it's great.ps i did phone spesh uk to ask if it was ok to fit the 120mm fork,and they said it would be fine,although it would slow the steering.not that i've noticed though!if i can afford it,i would like some dt swiss 100mm forks.that would be great!!! 
Oh your talking serious dosh they're even dearer than the World Cups.
it is shocking how much stuff has risen in price.why can't the government cancel import duty on bike stuff!!!if they are so set on getting people to go green.

What has cycling to do with being green? If it was about saving the ickle polar bears, they could reduce taxation on bikes as transport, such as proper Dutch style bikes, but why on earth should the tax on my 6" travel all mountain bike be reduced in the name of fluffy ickle bunnies?
forget this.i thought that it had got lost. 
well for one thing,my bikes are my only form of transport(if you don't include public transport/walking).also i would have thought that people would be happier paying less for items,as well as poorer people being able to afford bikes/components e.t.c. my last comment got lost in the either(it said i commented,but my comment didn't appear).
Agree raceface knock the import tax down & put it on petrol/road tax and see how many more of us ride to work every day.
From

You want to meet Mike Ayles off Bike Magic, he's by the far the most accomplished stuff-breaker I've ever met!
Just worked out that my two lightest bikes are close to a ratio of 10:1 (I'm really fat at the moment!).
By the end of the week I should have a singlespeed together that's closer to 12:1
+1 nick - mikes crazy
i only lost a bet on how long the massi would last because he hasnt taken it to france with him !
Haha! The thing is that Mike looks so sweet and innocent, he's hardly a 6'5" 20 stone animal! Very odd indeed. Think he's the only person I've met who managed to get all the balls in a Shimano hub to disintegrate within weeks!
