Saving 2.5 lbs today!

Not normally much of a weight weenie, which is probably why a lot of the parts on my bike are almost antiquated in the trials world. But I'm excited about this so I thought I would share.

Got some new parts in the mail yesterday from trialspads

Replacing my wicked old school rigid fork with a new one today: 1.5 lbs.
Gonna stop using a DH tube and go for a standard tube: another 1 lb.

Kinda cool actually. It has been suggested that I save my old rigid fork for use as a boat anchor.

I could use a nice sturdy boat anchor! Kidding.

Glad you dropped a few pounds. I imagine trials being very difficult with a heavy bike.
