    Subject: Weight Saving
    The wheel (mono) carries a little unnecessary weight. You can lighten the disk without compromising reliability and the cast marks can be turned off the rims (see attached). Polishing is optional. I can't really claim that the black "crackle" finish saves weight, but is does look better than the corroded "white furred" alloy that is frequently seen ;-) Nigel On 28/01/2014 14:32, Peter Zutrauen wrote: > on the subject of weight savings, I can't help but notice how heavy > the mono swingarm is.
