FFWD F6R vs Campag Bullet vs Mavic Carbon Pro

[bpsmith]

1640g according to the FFWD website.

1,525g actually weighed, according to site I ordered from. Will check my model with FFWD.

I think it depends on the hubs. Models with FFWD's own hubs are 1640. DT hubs come up less..

Arrived this morning. You do the maths.

 

[bonsaibilly]

How are they staying upright?!

How are they staying upright?!

Leaning against the box that they came in. What are you suggesting exactly?

 

[bonsaibilly]

I dunno, that something was taking some of the load I suppose. BB

 

[bonsaibilly]

Not that I understand anything about it.

 

[bpsmith]

FFS, just accept that they are around the 1,500g mark and be done with it.

I am more than happy with their weight, especially on a 45mm deep clincher. Nice aero benefits. No major issues in the wind and actually ended up lighter than my Zonda's. Perfect.

Looking forward to testing them out now, but Santa said not yet!

 

[bonsaibilly]

Is that because "Santa" has more gifts a coming of bike related ilk? Or is "he" scared you might come a croppa on the ice??,

They are being partly funded by the missus for Chrimbo, so I am not fitting them for a few weeks yet.

Determined to get a ride on them over Christmas week though. Fingers crossed that the gritters aren't out!

 

[bpsmith]

Now tell me they don't look light and fast...

Nice, would be better de-logo and seat needs levelling

Decals are under the clear coat. Really like them as they are, but we're all different.

Saddle is ever so slightly tipped forward deliberately. Not as much as photo suggests mind you, but thanks for pointing it out in case I hadn't been aware.

Whatever you think about the performance of them, they do look the business.
