Weight wise, it was surprisingly only about a couple grams heavier.


On a side note, do you guys use the softer TA05 IFS-R c-hubs for prefer the stock ones? The IFS-R ones have give, but gives so much that it tears the bottom screw out of the knuckle. And the c-hub won't go back to its original dimension, giving the knuckle huge play. Then again, it wouldn't have mattered if it was a crash that big...
I use the softer IFS ones ,, try using a longer screw.
