TITANIUM MTB Cassettes 10s !!!

2010-03-10T19:17:00.028+01:00

BRANDNEW-Now available in black colour!!

Brandnew - even before SRAM offered their X.X 10s group i already had these sweet 10 Speed TITANIUM cassettes.

They are not only lighter than SRAM X.X but also much cheaper!

These Cassettes are designed like XTR/ Dura Ace: Aluminium Spider and Titanium Cogs. But unlike XTR/DA these actually have all cogs out of Titanium. The cogs have machined shifting ramps just like Shimano and allow for smooth shifts also under load.

I have 2 versions available:
-The standard version comes with aluminium spacers and a 11t cog out of steel

-The SL version additionally comes with a full titanium 11t cog and plastic spacers instead of the aluminium ones which saves ca. 7-8g over the standard steel cog

All cassettes come with aluminium lockring

11-32 / 10s (11-12-13-14-16-18-21-24-28-32)
11-32: 173g (177g including aluminium lockring)

9s - 11/12-36 Ti MTB Cassette

2010-03-10T19:16:00.003+01:00

BIG-RANGE

11-36 / 12-36 Titanium Cassettes (9s)

Todays trend is leaning towards 2x9 / 2x10 drivetrains. So cranksets with just 2 chainrings up front. This however needs some careful selection of the rear cassette since you are giving up some of the overall gearspread you usually have with regular triple chainring setups like 22/32/44. Usually by going with double setups you loose some of the low gears which is the main problem for most of the people. With the current offerings you have just cassettes with up to 34t cogs which often is not low enough to compensate. Only the latest 10s components offer cassettes with 36t cogs. BUT the big manufacturers obviously forgot that still a vast majority is riding with 9s drivetrains. Some also don't want to switch to 10s and want to keep their 9s components. Also 29er bikes and all those with just a single chainring up front can now take profit of these new and lightweight titanium cassettes. With weights around 200g these are much lighter than even smaller XTR cassettes yet offer the bigger range you might look for.
These cassettes fit all Shimano and SRAM 9s drivetrains.

I offer them in different 2 sizes and 2 different versions with the following weights:
Standard-version:
11-36 ( 11-13-15-18-21-24-28-32-36) : 202g (including lockring)
12-26 ( 12-14-16-18-21-24-28-32-36) : 215g (including lockring)

These cassettes have ALL cogs out of titanium except the final 11t / 12t which is still steel. Spiders and spacers are aluminium as well as the aluminium lockring which is included.

Lighter SL-version:
For the real weight-weenies out there i also have a lighter SL-Version with a final 11t / 12t cog out of titanium ( instead of the standard steel) and plastic spacers instead of the aluminium ones. These kits are sold ADDITIONALLY to the standard parts. So if ever the final Ti-cog should wear out you still have the standard one out of steel as a spare replacement.

With these modifications the weights are the following:
11-36 SL: 196g (including lockring)
12-36 SL: 208g (including lockring)

Standard-Version: 170 Euro
SL-Version: 190 Euro

Thanks so much for the Ti cassette! It shifts better than my XTRs and Dura Ace. It shifted EVERY shift faster and more solidly than I could ever have expected! Thanks so much!
Sincerely,
Jim Thompson"

ho provato il pacco pignoni e funziona molto bene, sono contento.
Grazie

LIGHTNING Carbon Cranks/BB

2010-03-06T14:46:00.001+01:00

---> ALL weights including the bottom brackets

LIGHTNING Carbon Crank

This is the ultimate light-weight crank and bottom bracket set for weight weenies looking to shed some significant weight from their bikes, and who still want the strongest, stiffest crank possible.

The crank features carbon arms with an aluminum spider, joined in the center by a Hirst Joint (à la Campagnolo). The bottom bracket cups are secured by a genius knurled design to aid in the threading process, no superfluous installation tool required.

Look at the weights below and you'll understand these cranks are some of the lightest available on the market but cost a fraction of the competition that come at a +1000 Euro price tag.

These cranks are easily the most versatile:

- Lightning cranks can fit almost ALL bikes. 68-73mm BB width, or BB30...

You change your bike? No problem-these cranks will fit your next bike as well unlike the competition that sells specific cranks for every frame dimension.

- Lightning cranks can be outfitted with almost every kind of chainrings! The spider is removable/replaceable and there's several different spiders available to suit your needs. So if you want to change chainrings or your gearing later on this is the crankset to get as it allows you to convert from standard 130 BCD to compact 110 BCD (Road) or from Triple to Double rings in different BCDs (MTB).

REAL weights of Lightning carbon cranks:

MTB 68mm BB shell:
MTB-SL: 455g (cranks 175mm,68mm BB,spider,ceramic bearings)
MTB-HD: 485g (cranks 175mm,68mm BB,spider,ceramic bearings)

MTB 73mm BB shell:
MTB-SL: 465g (cranks 175mm,73mm BB,spider,ceramic bearings)
MTB-HD: 485g (cranks 175mm,73mm BB,spider,ceramic bearings)

Road 68mm BB shell:
Road-SL: 430g (cranks 170mm,spider 110 compact,ceramic bearings)
Road-HD: 450g (cranks 170mm,spider 110 compact,ceramic bearings)

BB30 bearings: -5g/pair !
Steel bearings: +10g/pair
SL-Version: Weight limit 100 Kilos / 220 lbs
HD-Version: Weight limit 127 Kilos / 280 lbs ! All cranks from 180mm up are HD.

I can offer "Extralite"-Versions with a lower weight limit which allows Lightning to make the cranks about 15-20g lighter than the regular SL-Versions:
"Lightning Extralite"
MTB-Extralite: 440g (175mm,68mm BB,spider,ceramic bearings)
MTB-Extralite: 450g (175mm,73mm BB,spider,ceramic bearings)
Road-Extralite: 420g (170mm,spider 110 compact,ceramic bearings)

Road: 145mm

Road 68mm (BSA), BB30

Superlight Chainrings

2010-03-06T14:45:00.011+01:00

Superlight Chainrings MTB + ROAD

These are the lightest aluminium chainrings i know of. Compare the weights with other rings on the market and you will see they are easily half the weight if not less than regular chainrings.

They get custom-made to your needs so you can choose whatever size in whichever BCD...Almost all is possible! Especially for those looking for their ideal gear combination on double cranksets these are the ultimate chainrings and allow you to fine-tune your gearing while also saving big weight!

They come in either plain silver colour or black anodized

Note: No shifting ramps/pins. These are not needed on inner rings and to my surprise i found they do shift really good even when used as outer rings as well ! I use them on my own MTBs with great success.

Some verified weights for your reference:

MTB (64/104 BCD, 4-bolt compact)
22t : 10g
26t : 16g
27t : 17g

Carbon shell
Carbon rails

The whole idea is to have a tube so thin that mimicks the skin which sealant usually forms inside tubeless conversions. Such a thin "skin" is really attached to the inside of the tire and less of an individual part inside the tire. It is much softer and more flexible...by the way - this is what reduces the rolling resistance! We all know that sealant inside a regular tube isn't doing too good. Only minor holes can be sealed (only using good sealants that is!). The constant movement/flex inside the tire makes holes re-open and leak again. Also a streched Butyl tube has a tendency to rip open once there is a cut or hole. There is so much strech on the material and the material itself isn't too elastic. That's why minor holes or cuts end up bigger in regular tubes.

So the idea was to get a really thin skin inside the tire. Now this skin is out of an extraordinary rubber which is far more resistant than any other tube out there.It is extremely elastic yet extremely resistant to cuts. So far it seems the concept is working. We had Thomas Frischknecht riding it in Tuscany /Italy where you have lots of thorns and sharp rocks.I know that place, i go there every spring too and usually you get a flat about every hour when riding in a group! Everyone has to carry at least 1 spare tube because of this and often we found ourselves fixing flats because we run out of tubes....in 2000 i started riding "tubeless" with sealant and didn't get punctures anymore....now Frischi never got a flat using the Eclipse tube as well...for me this is like the ultimate test. If it does withstand riding down there it s really doing extremely well.

Basically the tube is just acting as a sealant skin. The material of the tube is so resistant it is almost impossible to get a snakebite. Sure you still can get a flat. There is no such thing like 100% protection but so far for me they come very close.

Advantages over Tubeless conversions
Airthight right from the beginning ! No possible airleaks, no fiddling with compressors or adding more sealant or having the tire half flat the next day, no messy sealant...

Easy to mount. The tube is handled like any other tube, mounts easy with EVERY tire and you don't need any practice to set it up unlike tubeless conversions where too many people stay away because of all the hassle that is involved. There you often need a compressor, some tires are simply too porous and won't seal or will do so only after serious treatment...anyway - with this inner tube you will get the same benefits but with a much easier setup.

Easy tire changes. Tire changes are easy and can be done minutes before a start...no special kits for specific rims, no other specific material needed. No guidelines to follow, no restrictions at all. This tube just fits. The whole things is just that : it is EASY, LIGHT and WORKS !

Important note : tubeless conversions do work great if set up right!! If you did it a couple of times you get accustomed to it, you know the tricks and know how to act whenever there is a problem. I used tubelesskits for 8 years and i can seal almost every tire (important note: almost) But there's many,many people that still have their fare share of problems when trying to set up a tire using sealant. And we all know - It can be a mess. I doubt there is riders that didn't have their fare share of problems while setting up some tires. Only experience helps in getting some tires to seal 100%...no wonder you see so many questions asked about tubelesskits: "Is tire XY ok to be used with sealant?...."Is setup XY going to work'"..."What pressure do you use with sealant?"...."Will tire XY inflate using a floorpump?"....

...you all know what i mean.

This should come to an end with the Eclipse bicycletube. EVERYONE, even your grandmother, knows how a inner tube works. No explanation needed. No instructions to follow. It fits and works. In case you shuould still get a flat they can easily be repaired using the special adhesif repair-patches you can get from Eclipse.

Right now the tubes are tested by several top-racers in Swiss Races and also in the Worldcup!

DT XRC 100 Race World Champ

2010-03-06T09:04:00.003+01:00

On the scale with uncut steerer including remote lockout!

Now available:

2010 DT Swiss XRC100 World Champion special edition

The trick with this fork is that, not only is it lightweight but it is also an exceptional performer on the trail:

The DT XRC 100 Race World Champ Edition is winner of a comparison shootout in german BIKE Magazine (Issue 1/2010) where it got tested against its high-end competition. This truly is THE fastest fork for XC !!

DT Swiss have been working on making this lightweight fork even lighter with a number of new improvements, bringing the overall weight down to a staggering 1250 grams.

This has been achieved by combining a full carbon fibre steerer and crown assembly with a completly new carbon lower leg. This diet has shaved of 150 grams making it surely the lightest suspension fork on the market. Extensive lab tests have been carried out by DT’s engineers in Switzerland along with field and team tests throughout the world ensuring reliability along with high performance and funtion.

DT Swiss has quickly become the XC race fork of choice for professional, recreational, and serious cyclists. In 2009 DT Swiss proved itself as the fork of champions when Nino Schurter piloted the XRC100 Race fork to become UCI World champion.

Technical features include:

- 100 mm travel

- steerer / crown unit made of high modulus carbon

- high modulus carbon lowers, disc only with magnesium postmount dropouts

- 1250 g including remote lock out !!

Manufacturers link with full specs:
http://www.dtswiss.com/Products/Suspension/DT-Swiss-Forks/XRC-Forks/XRC-100-RL-remote-(3).aspx

For the true weight-weenies there's even options to run it without remote-lockout which brings the weight down to just around 1150g - please ask!

Shown above on scale my own XCR Race World Champion Edition fork: 1257g uncut.

My SCALE LTD with "dry" V-Brake setup as it got used up to 2009.

I usually don't like tires with no grip and prefer something like Conti RaceKing 2,2" Supersonics on my bikes but this is what i used for dry weather in 2009.

NINO's Winter-Scale 6,6 Kilo

2010-03-05T10:31:00.007+01:00

Nino's WINTERBIKE 2012

This is my 2005 SCALE LTD with actual '12 Winter-setup.

Weight as pictured is 6,6 Kilos / 14,5 lbs.

I still kept my old '05 Scale frameset so instead of just having it collect dust in the basement i assembled it with other parts that i had around to make a perfect winterbike. I like to ride full rigid during the muddy winterseason.It keeps your senses alive, is even more demanding and just so much fun. I might have to switch to a triple chainring setup up front once the snow arrives otherwise i won't make it up my housemountain which is 900m above sealevel. I need really low gears to be able to conquer the uphills in powder snow;)
Obviously there's quite a few parts that are very light (leftovers from previous builds) other parts are standard or even a little over what i would like but it is what it is...a nice bike;)

Extreme Alpine Biking on a HT

2010-03-05T10:31:00.000+01:00

Biking on Swiss Breithorn (4164m)

Lukas - Nino - Frischi

on top of Theodul-Pass (3317m)

Nino with the 450 KTM

In summer 2007 i followed a swiss extreme biker doing an extreme Transalpine-Tour : Gipfelstuermer Lukas Stoeckli

Lukas is former member of the swiss national XC-MTB squad, has several top 10 results in the xc-worldcup...european marathon champion...now only focusing on extreme Alpine riding.

Lukas was followed by swiss television and since i am a former swiss motocross champion i was asked to act as motorcyclist for the VJ (cameraman) and we followed him on all the singletrails up to the very top of all the mountains he did. I had to ride up Theodul-pass which is just at the base of our famous Matterhorn (Switzerlands most famous mountain which you will see in the back of the following movie below). That's riding up through just tons of rocks and riding on the glacier up to 3317m height- really cool! Only Alpine hikers up there...and Nino on a 450 KTM

Just a brief overview of this insane Transalpine-tour:
7 days
32'000 meters of total elevation (each day about 5000m = 16'400 feet !!)
ca. 100 kilometers each day
ca. 10 hours of riding each day

swiss television showed short clips every day of the actual stages which you can download here:
http://lukasstoeckli.ch/dynamic/page.asp?seiid=141

There is a whole DVD available with lots of bonus material which shows more of the extreme tour. You can see a sequence of the stage where Lukas was followed by Thomas Frischknecht (Frischi) when they did ride over Breithorn. A swiss mountain 4164m high.

Watch that Breithorn-stage with Thomas Frischknecht ! Frischi joined Lukas on wednesday up Breithorn and swiss television did some really spectacular shots---->Watch it! It is really cool:
