The bike has now moved into my new place, nice to have a 4kg bike when you wanna put it on the wall ;)

This Bike still exists but i sold the wheels and brakes.
New wheels will be the 25mm rims from 77composites or from ax with extralite cyber sp hubs.
The wheels should be under 850g
The brakes i do not know, maybe thm
With the new wheels the Bike will finally go under 4kg :)

Are you switching brakes for performance ? And are you going to powercordz Thm . I would love to see that. Is anyone on this site using THM with powercordz . Please post plenty of photo's and show us ,that would be great.

+1.
although stripped one of those stevens slc-frames (2011) and build it. of course in no way comparable to your build, but great frame. 768 gr naked 54-frame (w/bsa-bb!), nevertheless very robust! and nice geometry!

I had a friend who wanted to have the brakes and i thought of building my own. But right now i have no workshop which makes it kinda hard to built stuff.
I´m not sure about the THM yet but i like the old version. Should go to make them for powercordz

Wow , Id love to see what kind of brakes you would make. That would be perfect for your bike. Its so unique and to have a set of unique brakes would be amazing.
I think though that you should build a set for me to try first :wink: :lol:

I'm sure however it works out the bike will just keep getting better

cheers Ray J .

I´m looking around for new brakes but it seems so that there are no other really light brakes than the THM Fibula?
AX does not make brakes any longer or does they? Thought about their AX3000 brakes or what they were called.
Are there any other Brakes which are as light or lighter than the THM Fibula?

You can still get AX brakes The 3000 are lighter but if you can pick up a old versions of the orion's before they made the 3000 they are just as light. Donald's orion's come in under 100grms [everything] although he said he did some tuning . Maybe he will chip in. I have 2 pairs of orion's both weigh less than the stated weight of the 3000. But THM performance is way better.
THM are next weight wise then you have the Gravitas brakes [ no powercordz though] and certainly don't buy them from Ted or you will never see your money or brakes buy them on Ebay etc they do crop up regular but are a pain to set up. Then the ee brakes etc etc.
Sorry forgot to mention KCNC cb1 they are very light but again no powercordz.

Fuch, you visit the light bike forum . Did you see the Brakes Norbet made ? They weighed from memory 42grms each. He had a few photos up etc. Have no idea how they performed though. They looked amazing.

Thanks,
yes the normal Orion you can get light. I had mine at 97g with everything
Was maybe stupid to sell them.
Norbert is a friend of mine and i know his brakes, they are light. They work great for him
