I had a nice long talk with Jacky from KCNC. He showed the whole slew of great light weight bike parts that they make. They do all of their own CNC work themselves in house and its some pretty sweet work. You can really tell how much they care about squeezing the most out of a part. The cogsets are a piece of artwork and engineering. They are made of 3 parts for a 9 speed: a 4 Al outer cogset, a 3 Scandium middle cogset and a 2 Ti inner cogset. When the larger Al cogs wearout you can just replace that portion of the cogset and not the entire cogset. Cool!

The V-Brakes are just plain stunning. Its amazing how much CNC went into this set. Can’t wait to try this set out on my hardtail! They have made some improvements over their first version of them and so far the feedback has been good.

They also have some light stems (the SC Wing is my fave), light seatposts (Ti Pro), light cranksets (really want to try the K-Type XC1 at 728g), some trick bar ends, light seatpost clamps, etc.
