j40aja that is a nice bike. Im tall, however you my friend must be TALL. a 21″ with a seatpost that high?!

Yes indeed, 6’4″ but have the post up for road and canal stuff then down when a little for the trail centres.
Changed most of my stuff over from a Mongoose Meteore Elite which was a 22″ frame.

Yet to see another BeOne Pro Raw on my travels, will be going 2x 10 XT and tubeless soon which should see it below 20lbs (high 20lb as is).

I have a 2010 BeOne Raw Pro Carbon hardtail and the fit and finish is excellent (better than my mate’s C456 by a country mile)

I got it from CRC earlier this year but just make sure they include all the bits like headset, seat clamp and cable guides, oh and they might want to send the correct size.

The sizing of their frames seem accurate rather than the likes of Cube who measure from the top of the headtube.

I’ve just posted a picture of my bike in the show us your hardtails thread for reference.

No idea on their road bikes but MTBs are top notch.

My new steed,

A little unusual for STW, 21″ of carbon fibre hardtail lovelyness.

2010 BeOne Carbon Raw.

Cheers guys,

I’m going to order the Wellgo mg1 tis from E-bay this morning.

Just need to sell my grey ones now tohelp fund them.

Have a look on E-bay, usually different colours available.

I have spares which came with my Sids but you never know when they’ll come in handy. Fairly sure you can get them from TFTuned as an accessory pack but might be wrong.

No real reason but sure I read there were fake Wellgo pedals from the far east on Ebay, so was just a little wary.

Thanks cruzheckler,

They look perfect but are they likely to be the copies that everyone wants to avoid for whatever reason?

Good stuff guys, keep the options coming.

I’m a bit of a weight weenie so either the same weight or lighter than the Wellgos. Would like the ti version but £100 for pedals is insane.

I’ve got FiveTen Impact lows for reference and size 10 feet so a decent size of platform is essential.

Definitely will be selling once I’ve decided which ones to replace them with.
When I said silver that’s not exactly right, I think they’re actually called XTR grey or something like that(so dark silver I guess).

I bought them late last year but haven’t ridden them much but the paint doesn’t seem to stay on the magnesium all that well, not that they look bad just a little disappointing for £44 pedals. The bearings and feel is as new which isn’t surprising given the lack of use.

Worked for me on Monday!

Saying that I haven’t done the repeated unsubscribe subscribe thing before.

My hardtail is 21lb.

frame- BeOne Raw Carbon 21″ (1020grams)
Forks- Rock Shox Sid Team
wheels- Hope Pro3 on Crest rims
brakes- Hope X2 Race inc matchmaker clamps
Gears- XT crank, shifters, front and rear mech, Sram 990 cassette and 991 chain
Pedals- Wellgo MG1
Finishing kit- Ritchey Superlogic bars and post wcs stem
Hope headset, QRs and bottom bracket
Charge spoon Ti saddle
ESI chunky grips

Not running tubeless yet and have Continental Mountain Kings which could be changed to go lighter.

Will be changing to 2×10 XT this year XTR is just way too expensive.

Should be able to get to around 20lb without breaking the bank, it’s amazing how changing each component to one that’s 10% lighter adds up.

Just remember there is a point where lighter means it won’t last very long or might not be upto what you’re planning on using it for.

I’d stick with the XT one for the price to be honest, saying that I’ve just upgraded to a Hope one but only because I’m a bike tart and wanted red to match other bits on my new build.

I have a nearly new XT bottom bracket that I took off my old frame which came with my M770 chainset if you’re interested.

£10 delivered.

Cheers,

Alan.

Hi Chris,

Didn’t realise you were so busy when I dropped my bike off last Saturday!!
Hope this means everything gets moved over to my new frame which hopefully my in-laws are dropping off either tomorrow or Friday.

Better being busy than no-one coming through the door!!!

Alan Anderson(by the way).
