Do you find a travel imbalance between front and rear?
And, for the love of your own manhood, CHANGE THAT SEATPOST. With a fat seat like you have, you'll rip the poor bonded seatpost apart at the head, and risk potential damage in the process.

yup!
i know, the seat post is just temporary as i broke my last one the other week and havent had the money to replace it yet!

Dont find any travel imbalance at all.

Sinner not a saint!

I fondled a fet of them today, daver dont say they are shit. They look, feel and by all accounts are unbelieveable. And id be quick to inform the UK, they would hate to see peaty use shit components. Ive read the ad for them! they are 40% stronger than previous ones! :roll:

Peaty's a "skinsuit wearing faggot" using his own description. Cutting down a visor is just as bad as removing it.

I have also fondled a set, but an owner of them has told me that they are not that amazing, and definately not worth buying.

RF stems, bars, headsets, bbs and cranks all suck, and compared to the competition they are pissweak. i'd rather the Deore cranks on my Hoss to the northshores on my bullit.

and that has what to do with raceface components?

race face are equally as good as any other crank company.

they didnt get the reputation they have by manafacturing crap.

get over your ignorance.
