Hey,

First of all sorry I know this should be in the parts and stuff section, I just thought I'd get more opinions here.

Okay I'm looking at getting some new bars, forks and sprocket, and I'll definitely be shopping at Empire.
I want all of them to be pretty light, forks must be 10mm, bars at least 7.75" high and some decent width, but I may cut them down a bit. Sprocket I want a 28t.

Yeah so I was thinking of Sunday Morning 2007 forks, sunday triumph 2007 bars, and an FBM race 28t sprocket. What do you think of them, any other suggestions? And for the bars and forks, if I get sundays, i'm not sure which colour to get; black, toothpaste green or creamsicle (orangey-yellowy). My bike is pretty much all black right now, would be happy to add some colour to it.

Thanks in advance, Josh ;)

Okay, I just discovered my spindle is NOT 15/16, its 19mm, which limits my choice a lot. What do you think of the Knight Starfighter sprocket?

Edit: or should I get an adaptor, they are like 5 bucks?

Get the Sunday Stuff in toothpaste. This colour is reeeeeeeeeeeeeally sweet. (toothpaste + black´looks really nice (http://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p165/kfoxbmx/my%20bikes/DSC_0018.jpg).)
For the Sprocket I would just get one you like. I personally like the Profile Imperial.

19mm is the most standard size of spindles pretty much all sprockets come with a spacer to make it fit a 19.i wouldn't get Sunday forks-they are sick but if u want lite theres lighter out there.look at odyssey race or volume featherweight.Sunday bars are pretty awesome and fair light but also look at the fit inman bars (northwest).also if u are getting a new sprocket you will need a new driver i am assuming you have the stock flow wheel and don't no if you can buy replacement drivers for them.I would stay with 30 anyway-perfect size imo

^ The sunday morning 2 forks are lighter than the 2007 odyssey races by a tiny amount, they are the lightest forks at the moment I think.

Fit Blade forks weight 933g, Ody Race 07 940g , and the sundays are around 980g dont they? pitchfork xlt s are also around 980g.
Sh*t on those few gramms, a fork below 1kg is really light.

Sunday for the win becaus of the colours ;D

Ody Classic Races are 33.1oz http://www.danscomp.com/353240.php?cat=PARTS

Sunday Morning 2's are 2 lbs 1 oz (33 oz) http://www.sundaybikes.com/main.html#products

Fit Blades are 2 lb 1.6 oz on Empire.

The weight difference is next to nothing, so I may as well go with the Sundays which look better imo and are a fraction lighter.
