nishnash (Jul 13, 2009 at 18:19)

My crash...I lost control on the landing of a jump and hit a rock, over the bars and such...

Says the kid with S-Types...talk about opposite ends of the spectrum

knightridersix04 (Jul 13, 2009 at 19:28)

s-types are 1000 times stronger lol

nishnash (Jul 13, 2009 at 19:32)

Thats the point...Opposite ends of the strength..and weight spectrum

knightridersix04 (Jul 13, 2009 at 19:33)

they're only like 50 grams heavier (hoops only)

nishnash (Jul 13, 2009 at 19:40)

uh huh sure they are...Double Tracks are 300g's heavier.

knightridersix04 (Jul 13, 2009 at 19:46)

I saw on sicklines that they're like 100g at the most (heavier)

nishnash (Jul 13, 2009 at 19:55)

it says 845g for Double Track and 590 for single track. I actually looked it up. And yes on sicklines

knightridersix04 (Jul 13, 2009 at 19:58)

what does it say about S-Types?

nishnash (Jul 13, 2009 at 20:14) (Below Threshold)

No weights on em, but they are for sure heavier than Double-Tracks.

kevman866 (Jul 13, 2009 at 20:15)

weight weenies

nishnash (Jul 13, 2009 at 20:16)

haha

knightridersix04 (Jul 13, 2009 at 20:19)

no way they`re heavier than double tracks

str4tegix (Jul 14, 2009 at 0:49)

for all who dont knows: singletrack isn't a downhill rim

knightridersix04 (Jul 14, 2009 at 10:41)

we all knew that

transam711 (Jul 16, 2009 at 14:03)

S-Types are quite a bit lighter than Double Tracks.

knightridersix04 (Jul 16, 2009 at 16:38)

exactly

Unhallowed (Aug 18, 2009 at 23:56)

on the scale of weight... single, s-type/mtx(slight diff but w.e), mag30, double

knightridersix04 (Aug 18, 2009 at 23:57)

the mag 30 is slightly heavier because of the extra paint layer

Unhallowed (Aug 18, 2009 at 23:58)

nope, took me a long time to find the info but I discovered a mag30 is lighter than a doubletrack. Not by any earth shattering amount but enough to be noticeable. Holding them side by side it was enough to feel the weight.

knightridersix04 (Aug 19, 2009 at 0:00)

okay, that was what I heard

Szlav (Jul 13, 2009 at 21:29)

WHY DOES WEIGHT MATTER SO MUCH!!!!

nishnash (Jul 14, 2009 at 8:49)

Szlav (Jul 13, 2009 at 21:29)
