So... as i didn't go for the alpines free ride pack when i first bought the bike as i didn't have enough ££££ at the time would this be an ideal upgrade as a next "add on" to the bike to take some weight off ? i like the look of it too 🙂
What is it exactly?
Nah. Assuming you'd be paying the £155 as listed on the site, and that you already have some pedals you like, I'd go for this instead:
BARS: Race Face SixC (725mm wide, 225g)
[url= http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=48026 ]£107[/url].
STEM: Thomson Elite (c.160g)
[url= http://www.merlincycles.co.uk/Bike+Shop/MTB++Parts/Bars++Stems/Handlebar+Stems/Thomson+Elite+X4+318mm_421.htm ]£52[/url]
Comes to roughly the same price, and both are lighter (and nicer, IMO) than the Sunline parts, if you're looking to lose weight.
EDIT: Alternatively, you could get the three V-One bits for about £120: [url= http://www.evanscycles.com/products/sunline/v-one-pedals-ec026352?utm_source=froogle&utm_medium=froogle&utm_campaign=froogle ]here[/url], [url= http://www.evanscycles.com/products/sunline/v-one-all-mountain-stem-ec019338?query=v-one ]here[/url], and [url= http://www.evanscycles.com/products/sunline/v-one-os-bar-ec019342?utm_source=froogle&utm_medium=froogle&utm_campaign=froogle ]here[/url]. 😉
Or go for the Renthal stem as it's about 50g lighter than the Thomson.

True, but it's £20 more. I was trying to stick as close to the £155 freeride pack price as possible. Either way, there are plenty of options at that price.
the sunline v-one stem is 144g anyway? lighter than the thompson
yeah they come to 120 quid that's better than £155 but id be unsure on the sizes of the stem and handlebars, id have to go to my lbs and ask i guess
A gussett staff stem is dead light and dead cheap. I have one and it seems good
the sunline v-one stem is 144g anyway? lighter than the thompson
That's for the 50mm - it's 173g for the 65mm. It seems they're about identical weights, so just go on which one you like the look of better.
Or, if you want really cheap/light, how about [url= http://www.carboncycles.cc/?s=0&t=0&c=48&p=609& ]£12.25 for 114g[/url]?
