| looks decent, but there are better parts 1. get a seat / post combo 2. odyssey monolever "trigger" is better then a 1 finger brake (IMO) 3. I would get the Fit down low stem | |

| Yeah they're good, but it seems a little expensive for little parts. Focus more on the rim, stem, forks, bars, cranks. A seat and seatpost isn't really a huge necessity compared to the above listed. The rim is great. Also if you go breakless that shaves off the price of a break lever and linear cable. | |

| I weighed my gyro, break cable, lever, caliper, pads etc. and it came out to 1.23 lbs. Not that much weight? I disagree. | |

| Brakeless is more then just the weight. I like brakeless over brakes because it provides a cleaner look, and a better style. (you don't have that nasty brakes squeak)
Also brakeless helped me learn tricks. I don't have a lever to pull now when I'm going for stuff that I might pussy out on. Of course you can say "You don't have to pull the lever." But most people who have brakes use them.

| Damn you had some heavy ass breaks all my shit back when I ran a gyro was only about half a pound....breakless does have a cleaner look tho but I think it looks just as good with breaks.that's just me tho....as for it helping you not pussying out on stuff I don't see how that makes a difference cuz I'll still end up goin for the jump I whatever but it doesent mean that ur not gunna pussy out | |
