They're better than XTs. The feel is just ACE.

George you're not helping!

150mm Pikes for my Horsethief, I'm very happy with the way the current 140mm Rev's ride but that Pike Hype is working.

I'm also thinking of pimping my impending Rooster even though a practical build would be much more sensible.

To molgrips' OP, don't you need specific calipers for the vented rotors?...

Dmr vault superlights - I've already got 2 sets of standard vaults, no performance gain, 100g or so lighter, weaker ti axles and more fragile mag bodies, oh and they are £200!!! I've talked myself out of the idea a few times now as my standard vaults suit my needs far better and given that I've managed to bend a cro mo axle, ti isn't the best idea! Doesn't stop the wanting though.

A low-profile bell that sits in front of the bars with a longer pinger so you can flick it thumb-shifter style, which is compatible with all brake/shifter clamps.

I nearly bought carbon cranks for my hemlock the other week. It'd have saved about 150g I think, at a cost of only £300. Which is about 10 times more than the frame's worth.

I've come to the conclusion that my medium Soul frame is probably to small for me after riding my large full sus which has the same tt length as a large Soul. So a large Soul frame, probably in Orange as I regret not buying orange first time around!

Edit: which 'probably' isn't that daft!

For my road bike

3t carbon bar, stem and seatpost. I already have a carbon seatpost and stem but I want the 3t ones so they match my fork. But its a layout of around £600 but I would save 'a lot' of weight.

Some 38mm Chinese carbon wheels to replace my kyserium sl premiums because the carbon ones will look nicer.

That's pretty much it really. Well apart from the latest chinese light 🙂
