but hey - you bought a light boat, keep it light.



Yeah, I mountain bike too and love to hear my buddies talk about all the XTR components they have and how light it makes the bike (at 4-5x the cost)....even though they're carrying an extra 20-30 lbs on the rider!

I'm employing the ATR System so I don't think a couple of extra grams (for the european readers) will kill me.

I've started replacing it (once it falls off) with a mountain bike grip. It takes a little work to get the grip on, but it works well and is a personal preference.
