I'm hoping for under 23.5lbs with 2 pegs, just so it can be lighter than Jacob's lol
I said mine was roughly this Wink It was varying from 23.1-23.5lbs,I said the highest so I wasn't bullshitting a lighter weight lol Could easily ditch weight though, minus the nipples on my bike nothing on it is weak. When I get a TL I'll ditch the spacer + cut the steerer so that'll make it a tad lighter

Or you can get the cheaper halo wide boy in white . Strip it and polish. Better than wasting a lot of money on an NS hub. NWray did this for his hub combo and the wide boy matches the ratchet hub very nicely in shape Smile

digging a bit i know, but have you used the wide boy hub ceazar? i think i might get one instead of a DM Xdrive.

Nate runs one from what I have heard they are legit. Basic in nature. Two good bearings and a solid hub shell.available in 32h only though. But if you run 32h that should not be an issue

my Wide Boy is great, love it, but the 10mm screw in adapters don't hold up to pegs very well lol

The chrome looks great. How is the chrome from NS? I have seen good and bad recently. My S&M chrome stuff is awesome. I have a chrome BSD frame that is pretty awful. Just curious too see your opinion if you have actually seen one in person.

I never have seen the frame . But I have owned the bars. The chrome is really good. Nice quality finish . not a thin coat at all. I have experience with chrome wheels and the chrome on the NS parts is top notch . it would probably last the life of the part or frame
