Matt Whitaker from Wide Open distributors just dropped by in between visiting a few Wellington shops. It looks like the XC crank market is about to get feisty. These FSA K Force Light cranks weigh in (with FSA’s ceramic BB) at 750 grams. There’s also a 2 x 9 set (that’s two rings up front fool) as well, which is a bit lighter (we’ll be reviewing some in an upcoming issue).
And for the freeride/all-mountain/hardtail set Matt had this sweet little white MRP G2 chain guide. No ISCG tabs means it’s perfect for bikes with … um… no ISCG tabs. Anyone out there on a GT?
That mini-G guide is a little champ, what Matt didn’t mention, is that you can also order that guide in ISCG Old and ISCG ’05 so that is comes with options to fit most if not all frames
