well specialized has to save some money, and by not making a whole other frame and wheelset for their ss p bike, they save money and most people are happy, except for some nitpickers who want a ss spaced hub and non-dished wheel. those wheels are shared amongst all hardrocks, p1s and p2s. the mech hanger is obviously for someone who wants to make their p1 geared, and all they have to do is stick a cassette, extra links, a derailleur and chainguide on
actauly a whole new chain. the kmc ss chains don't go with derailors.
the off set doesnt make the bike perform any worse, if anything it makes the frame stronger so quit complaining!!
yeh man, with coil pikes and front rear juicy 7's i use this bike for everything now. ive lighted it up with deity and hope build wheels. only few more things to sort out till she is completed!
yeah im thinking of getting a p2 aswell, they look a prety good spec but does anyone know how much they weigh?
p2 cromo is just shy of 40 lbs. like maybe half a pound under. my p1 cromo weighs 38 with holzfeller cranks, one brake, and ditchwitch wheels. stock parts other than that.
