Show us your Titanium....

I put titanium bottle cages on my Enigma from new - 3 years later, no problems. They weren't from Van Nic, though.

Nice.
Beware of the Ti bottle cages. The are rather flimsy where they attached to the bike. Both mine broke. VN did replace them though so fair play. Then another broke so swapped them for plastic jobbies.

Cheers for the heads up. Only ordered 1 as that's all Tredz had in stock & it looks very similar to the old style VN ones Might keep an eye out on PX for the carbon ones at half price

You seen the weight of them 29g, no way. I'll stick to my 22g ones

That's a winter bike? I'd be using it more than that! Excellent call on the wheels btw.

 

[stumpy66]

Yeah I'm planning to use it for light touring as well, it takes up to 20kg.

 

[stumpy66]

Very nice, what rack and disc brakes do you have on it?

Rack was a cheap unit (£30ish) that was freebie from the lbs. I don't know the brand I'm afraid.

Sram rival 1 rear derrauiler

I havent ridden it yet as ive only recently returnee from holiday and just havent had the time to get out

 

[stumpy66]

I assume you would need the xd freehub to run that cassette?

Nope....its the new sram version which can be run on standard shimano free hubs
