Cockpit parts
« on: March 02, 2018, 10:43:28 PM »
Anyone have a handle of some reliable parts for mtb?

Looking for a saddle around 100g or less, seatpost under 150g for 27.2x400, and a handle bar around 130g or less for 750mm.

I have found some that meet these specs on Ali, but don't know how trustworthy the parts are.

Thanks

Ali parts will work just fine. Got 2 bars from them, one is a integrated one for my XC rigid singlespeed with 600x120mm(yes oldschool) and a 760mm for my trailbike. The integrated one weighs about 259g afaik. thats for the bar and the integrtaed stem. didn't weigh the 760mm one though.
I also got one BXT carbon saddle which is stated to be at 65g(not sure but that but surely under 100g). A bit narrow, but way more comfy than one might imagine cause it flexes a bit. Proably not the prettiest one, but it works and weighs nothing

Do shy away from Asiacom products.

I personally don't have experience with that brand but someone here had. http://chinertown.com/index.php/topic,1119.30.html

GUB saddles are good.
I put them on all my bikes.

Does anyone know any lightweight expanders/compression sleeves for carbon steerers? Currently i got a FSA one that works just fine, but i was hoping it to be a bit lighter. Maybe sth out of titanium on aliexpress? Can't find anything particularly lightweight

I have all of the parts in hand. Both saddles came in at 109/110g, the seatpost is 136g for a 27.2x400mm, I can't remember the bar, but I think right around 140g for 720mm flat. Haven't mounted anything so can't give any feedback on durability yet.

I bought that Signswise saddle that was in your link. Think it came out to 118 grams. Took it out for a 15 mile XC trail ride and it was great! Now we will see how it holds up over time.
