They look sick, I was thinking one of those or a Carbocage when my LG1+ gives up.

Mozarts look good from what I've seen, and pretty darn light. I already have the SRS+, so I'll use it for now. I am familiar with them as I run one on my Revolt as well. I have a good relationship with E*Thirteen so I plan to continue using their product. Most everything else out there is more or less a copy of one of their guides anyway. I'll post more pics as the build goes along.

Cheers!

Anyone give me any ideas for some flatter bars for doing a bit of 4x. Not really in position for a full geared setup as yet, so am following Martin Soderstrom's lead and going ss for now, but with flatter bars and new stem if needed.

I'm also thinking about getting a new wheelset but I'm out of money for now. I have a stiffy for the rear as well but it needs a new hub to run gears, they're on the heavy side though.

I chose Juicy 3's because I have a friend selling an almost new set for £50, what issues have you had? His last ones ran fine for ages at a time.

i would save the extra 50pounds(i dont know how to do that symbol thinger) and buy two juicy 5s off crc, the different between my 3's and my buddies 5's is night and day Blank Stare

I would look at these if I were you. A little bit heavier then the mozartt but I am definitely going to be getting one when they come out as I think superstar have some great components at cheap prices. (They are £50 btw)

Ok fair enough lol. But they are in Norway and shipping could be expensive unless they set up distributors.
