hubs

[edc]

looking for some low weight hubs for freeride,
can you help..

[Hack On Wheels]

Hope Pro II? That would be my choice. Burgtec may be lighter actually, but I don't know much about them.

[edc]

ye i have hopes now.

[Hack On Wheels]

So do you want something different then? Anything specific that you are looking for?

[Firetrap]

If you can get hold of some burgtec hubs run them. Lighter than anything out there and super strong!

... and you've got to love disco camo! (http://www.burgtec.co.uk/hub4.html)

whats your price range

[Shaker666]

Hadley titanium 72-pt, if budget permits. Novatec/Joytec makes a decent cheapo hub too.

[Dantes Inferno]

I have the novatech and its not really light, but its solid and the engagement still works good.

INDUSTRY NINE!!!!

if you can afford them

no real price point, but no point going stupid on just hubs.. building up a ride to show magazines etc so be nice to get the weight down and look trick.

ye i did think Ind nines.. but how much are they??

also looking to shed some weight on cranks, saddlw and post...

only thing i do like to run 3 p style cranks? whats the lightest of them?

I've been running Truvativ Stylo cranks for a year now and they have withstood a fair amount of abuse and are crazy light. Failing that, Maybe Atlas cranks, I think they are comparable.
Saddle is tricky, you could go superlight, but it seriously compromises strength, so the trick is to find the saddle that will fit the job, rather than the lightest one.

have you a link to the Truvativ Stylo cranks.. are they 3p?

[ESHER SHORE]

if you like 3 piece cranks, then chuck a titanium bottom bracket axle in there, its the best value for money place to put Ti on a bike, and makes a surprisingly good weight saving!

you won't get hubs much lighter than Hope, without going for crazy exotica or compromising the durability

you'd be better off looking at lighter rims and spokes, and lighter tires, try a Stan's No-Tube setup for serious weight saving and performance gain.

for saddles, try a Selle Italia Flite Ti, comfy and super light
