Nice setup! Couple questions:
Will ceramic bearings hold up to mountain biking abuse?
That seat post is so skinny, it looks like it will snap off left or right. Ya reckon it's solid? When carbon seat posts fail, it's usually not pretty for the rider.
Everything looks cherry sweet.
nothing will break. thats why they have R&D.
I could shave you even more weight....if I could get the shipment of carbon Ergon's. Got'a wait until Feb.
that is a very patriotic drive train, i am with KK on the seat post though, better wear extra padding.
You've got a lot of faith in R&D. I've seen 2 broken carbon seat posts, and as a weekend warrior I don't ride that much. Mikey had his break during the Cholla race this year - luckily he didn't get skewered. You'll probably be fine, float master. But for me I don't want to worry about my seat post snapping so I go metal.
No seat/seatpost...trials style...WAAAYY LIGHTER!!!
