any unsprung weight savings do help but they are no longer available

I think going on a calorie-restricted diet would make more of a difference.

You might pick up a set on eBay for half what they normally cost, I paid £200. And they are VERY nice smile

A large poo and leaving your jacket at home before you go for a drive would probably give a bigger weight saving

Indeed.

And why do it in your jacket anyway ? Genuinely curious too...?

Unsprung weight reduction is often overlooked.
BTW any one know the studs details so I can hunt down some after market ones?

You need one on each to balance the weight distribution wink

But then you will be too heavy - negated any saving of the titanium!

Is Fastest an updated version of Faster Quinny? I'll be going to see that if it is smile

Well as the IWC probably works out cheaper than a set of 20 AM titanium nuts.... That's not a bad ideascratchchin
It has the added benefit you can set them both to different time zones and then be able to tell the time in 3 different parts of the world! smile
