|  Shocks , uncut ? | john
Feb 22, 2002 6:52 AM | | Being new, don't know what you mean by "uncut". I assume uncut is the way you get them from the factory, and "cut" possibly being v-brake bosses cut off(on a disc set up) and blended in ? If so, anything else? I just bought an NRS and their don't look like many areas for weight reduction except for the thing that pedals it.... |
| AFAIK, "uncut" only refers to an uncut steerer tube.... | AndyH

People will often measure the weight of the fork with an "uncut" steerer tube. Once you cut it for your bike, you can expect the fork to weigh a bit less as you've removed some material from he fork. |
