god that is cheap, money isnt a issue to a certain point..if i can get one cheap i will deffinately get one, but i cant afford to pay retail for one. I had to work all summer to pay for my bike, but ive started selling stuff on ebay as well to help fund my bike!!!

I've never tried the dmrs but i can't see myself ever needing to Smile

As soon as I took them out of the box I was blown away at how light they made those things. They are holding up perfect so far and provide excellent grip while still letting me get off the pedal in need of a bail out.

And I got a great deal on them on ebay, only $20 shipped!

hey man it looks like your only options are to switch the wheelset or tires... if your not willing to switch the fork, then i'd do that, itll make a difference for sure
