Got a spare slr, 135g thingy and could shave >200g off my race bike. I'm only 68kg. What are peoples experiences?

I've used them on a mountain bike, would have thought they'd be ok for cross so long as you're not a fat biffer.

Ran a carbon railed one last season, and it's still on the go for this one. Doesn't look box fresh mind.

Edit - I'm about 64kg.

Strip it and it's perfect for cx/Mtb 🙂

When I was a fat biffer I had one on my mtb and it was fine, now running it in my road bike and its still fine (although a bit less biffer on it)

I use them on all my bikes - even the jump bike has one 🙂

I've also used them on all my bikes and a fair bit heavier than you, (Fat Biffer)

Been fine, can't see myself snapping it unless I have a big crash.

Most likely OK, although noted that Sven runs a ti not carbon railed saddle in case of re-mounting issues/mishaps.
