Needless to say I was surprised at the gains like everyone was telling me. it all depends on the skinnies too, i did weigh the welds and hoosier tires that Jersey ta let me borrow they weighed 20 lbs. each against 45 lbs. for my snowflakes and street tires. So saving 50 lbs. of the front and the rolling resistance which I think is the main factor is well worth it!  |
nice! im pretty sure my stock 16" wheel/tire combo weighs at least 45lbs
