| XC lightening drill | Archangel
Jan 29, 2003 3:26 AM | | Here's a link to a Finnish MTB Club's site:
http://biltemamtb.tripod.com/porr.htm
They advertise a XC lightening drill (made of Titanium-Adamantium
;-D) that makes 50% lighter HOLES than conventional drills ;-)
In a test they made with a Cannondale F900, the conventional drill lightened the bike 47,8 g while the XC lightening drill made the frame 101,1 g lighter without compromising its stifness!!
PS. Adamantium is the mystic metal that Marvel super-hero Wolverine has in his skeleton and claws... :-D |
