So what's this pig weighing? I got mine down to 41.2, would have swapped out wheels but they matched so well.

Charge262 (Feb 20, 2012 at 9:09)

40.1 with those triple ply michelins.

When I'm running my normal single ply high rollers its closer to 38. Considering the frame weight its not that bad to be honest!

Buy DHF EXO and be done. Such a rad tire. Miss my old glory. Runs some shit over for sure!

Charge262 (Feb 20, 2012 at 9:10)

I do wanna try those, but i also want to try out the new Conti Kaiser's... Heard good things about those.

whattheheel (Feb 20, 2012 at 9:11)

Well I am riding the EXO's so......

Charge262 (Feb 20, 2012 at 9:12)

Does that mean they are the bestest tyres evar?

whattheheel (Feb 20, 2012 at 9:13)

I R INTERWEBZ KING! I like them but not have tried new Conti's. They heavy. 860 for EXO's? Prettty sure. I go look.

Charge262 (Feb 20, 2012 at 9:15)

Kaiser is 1000g according to bikeradar...

Hmmmm. Ima do some thinking!

whattheheel (Feb 20, 2012 at 9:17)

845 for the regular exo, not 3c. I dig.

Charge262 (Feb 20, 2012 at 9:18)

How flimsy are they? Pinch flat prone?

whattheheel (Feb 20, 2012 at 9:19)

I run them 35-40 and no tubes.... They rule!! You use those archaic tubes? WTF? And here I thought you were cool....

Charge262 (Feb 20, 2012 at 9:21)

Man, i'm poor! Can't afford tubeless conversions right now!

whattheheel (Feb 20, 2012 at 9:22)

Can you afford a roll of Gorilla tape and a jug of Stan's? Done!

Charge262 (Feb 20, 2012 at 9:23)

Trying to work out how much weight i would lose...

Im thinking with Exo's and tubeless, it would be around 2.5-3lbs...

whattheheel (Feb 20, 2012 at 9:24)

Easily. Tires is a solid pound. Then toss old rim strip and heavy ass tubes...

Charge262 (Feb 20, 2012 at 9:27)

You have me thinking now! Dam you!

whattheheel (Feb 20, 2012 at 9:28)

I went from 38 on my session down to 35.9 with the tire swap. And some parts changed but not much to make that huge of a difference than the tires did. You already leave for bike shop or what?

Charge262 (Feb 20, 2012 at 9:29)

Haha, nah. I work at a shop so ill just order shit in when i have monies.

whattheheel (Feb 20, 2012 at 9:36)

Charge262 (Feb 20, 2012 at 9:44)

Soon! First i wanna get the frame powdercoated.

whattheheel (Feb 20, 2012 at 10:14)

Performance first foo!!!!!! Oh shit forgot. This be PB!

Charge262 (Feb 20, 2012 at 10:15)

whattheheel (Feb 20, 2012 at 10:28)

Charge262 (Feb 20, 2012 at 10:29)

josh-clifton (Feb 20, 2012 at 12:48)

What did you do to make it slacker? Smile

Charge262 (Feb 20, 2012 at 12:53)

Angleset and offset bushings. One bushing is still to go in- need some more mounting hardware.

Sitting at 64.5 atm. Could get it to 63 if i really wanted haha.

josh-clifton (Feb 20, 2012 at 13:07)

Sounds good, what was the angle at originally? Where did you get the offset bushings ahha? I have been wanting to slacken out my glory but it gets expensive if you use and angleset.

Charge262 (Feb 20, 2012 at 13:08)

66 as its a Glory FR.

The angleset is a Works Components one. £75, and they offer -1* and -2* options and the bushing came from a guy on the buysell. They are top quality and only £10 each.

I'm sure both would ship to you!

josh-clifton (Feb 20, 2012 at 13:14)

For the offset bush, do you keep your du bushings in?

Charge262 (Feb 20, 2012 at 13:15)

Yeah. Thats the reason i only have 1 in. Have a Needle roller bearing in place of the top bushing, so im missing one of the DU bushes. Need to get another before i can put the other offset one in.

josh-clifton (Feb 20, 2012 at 22:40)

Sounds like ill have to try them out ahah tup

Did you feel any difference?

Charge262 (Feb 21, 2012 at 2:11)

Yeah man, it is noticeably slacker, and the bb is lower too. I do recommend!
