KCNC components

[rhinochopig]

I have to say, since discovering the company I've bought a lot of their bits due to them being very light and very hard wearing. I'd stay clear of their CNC jockey wheels though - the sealing isn't great.

Anyone else bought any of their stuff of ebay?

Got a link Rhino, I heard of them but have never gotten around to perusing their stock.

But if you type in KCNC into ebay then you'll get lots of items.

I always buy from light bikes (ebay shop). Two brothers who sell bits on there and are really reliable which is a bonus on ebay these days.

I've tried the bars (2" inch DH riser) and a 100g XC stem for my XC bike - bomb proof so far and I'm 16stone. I've also tried their jockey wheels, which IMO are not that great as there is a lot of play in the ones on my winter bikes now. That said they still run freely though and they do look great

I've also heard good things about their Scandium blocks - although these are proper weight weenie kit as they're expensive.

Here's their v brake kit

Then you're not old enough to remember the revolution they were compared to cantilevers.

I worked at a bike shop in Hammersmith when they came out, one of the guys got the first pair in Europe, and for months they were the first thing anyone commented on when seeing his bike.

Bear in mind that they are still stronger than most disc brakes, due to the larger distance from the axle (effectively the 'disc' is the size of the wheel).

I still contend that the best braking system on the market is a set of Magura rim hydraulics with well built wheels and good rims/spokes. And that's having used the lightest Mavic road rims of the day for cyclocross without a single ding or rim deflection of more than 1mm. (Helped they were built by a proper 'old school' wheel builder)
