March 31, 200818 yr Author Baldilocks, Carbon 1 l tank i bought from JT7 (Jorde Tarres company). r2wtrials, yes they flex. i'm using carbon mudguard in front for 8 monthes, bent it few time very hard and there is just hardly visible small crack. But with rear is different story, bent it cracked on first day of trial and after that it look horrible in 3 places but i put there small stickers and it is good looking again.... will see how long rear will last. EdHolland, no i didnt weighted all of them, i knew that carbon is a lot lighter then aluminium and even then plastis. on JT7 web site there is some weigts for some carbon parts... i weighted only Titanium bolts and they are all is about 750 gr, original steel is about 1600 gr.
March 31, 200818 yr Thats a nice light bit of kit there!! nice one, do you feel much difference in the weight?
March 31, 200818 yr Author yes, it is much easier to move bike around (due to my wallet being a lot lighter) Edited March 31, 200818 yr by Kinell
December 13, 200817 yr Author UPDATE on the bike: carbon is crap material for mudguard so i switched for plastic, rear is black one which is original, front was red but i painted it to black aswell.

January 11, 200917 yr i cant view any of you photos, says the site in unavailable or something like that, but from the description it sounds incredible. my 140LB gasser now sound like it is very fat. i have always wanted to be able to throw it around like my trials bicycle.
