cause you only save like 5 g's and run the risk or going brakeless halfway down

id be more worried about tacoing a rim than breaking a single properly torqued rotor bolt! plus, if you go ti, you will save about 100g each,plus it rotational weight, effective weight shaving!

There is a difference between running Ti and running only 3 bolts....

This is not a weight weenie thread. His budget is $1500, and it doesn't sound like he's going to want to pitch the extra $$$ just to shave a few grames.

1. i like the u-turn on the pike, and the travel adjust system is nice
2. you can get a set of dt ex-series wheels off best bikezone.com for like $150
3. juicys can be found cheap on bargain sites.
4. truvativ team bar and post would work well
5. no idea for the stem, maybe an easton vice AM stem
6. bargain sites are your friend, just dont be a dumb#ss by getting them off the shady ones.

cheers on the building Salute

That is what I was going to ask. I may have a hook up with that for an 09 FOX RP3. Let me know.
