Another Berk Lupina datapoint 3K Matt 2024 edition. Real Weight

[@hockysa]

It’s so beautiful ❤❤❤

[@wsbygt]

The matte finish must look good along with the brushed Ti frame bits, too!

My berk lupina 150 arrived this morning, 80.9g

[@pedrolahoz]

Bought a carbon saddle from aliexpress, Gelu. Good finish, not uncomfortable, 85 dollars, less than 60 grams

[@VelocityPrintworks]

I have the 62g version (I think they made a lighter one after i bought it) and luckily it fits me well. Such good value!

[@christocan4710]

Without the sticker even less! 😉 There is no sticker on the old one.

[@Niggoification]

could you please do a comparison between Berk, Bjorn and Alpitude? :)

[@OutThere42]

Now let’s see it in a video on the bike. The torque specs are maximum recommended torque, correct. So in practice, do you go to the max? or 0.5 to 1Nm lower on fragile components like a carbon rail?

[@slayerofgrams]

4nm on my darimo post, don’t need more than 5 on my ti bike with an enve 2bolt clamp

[@frankb.1284]

Man those are anchors!, you should try a Gelu K3, more confortable and half the weight. A bit pricey though.

[@MS-bw7yt]

Just no

[@frankb.1284]

@@MS-bw7yt Yes

[@pedrolahoz]

My Gelu was about 85 dollars, expensive for aliexpress, german stuff is usually several times more expensive, and quality questionable.

[@frankb.1284]

Gelu is not a german brand, it’s portuguese

[@notkaty]

Enjoy your 3 g saving !

[@arnoldvales784]

Please try Schmolke saddles. They're only 53 grams.

[@adamlucina]

Are you planning on doing weigh in for new THM aero barstem?

[@slayerofgrams]

Sorry, I have no plans to buy that I’m afraid.

[@adamlucina]

@@slayerofgrams gotcha, I was considering buying one for my build, but I think I will just get the nexum drag since I know what to expect

[@slayerofgrams]

@@adamlucina The nexus drag will be lighter for sure, but I'm also pretty sure that the THM will be better "built" in terms if finish and what not.

[@adamlucina]

@@slayerofgrams thanks for the reply! Yeah noticed that darimo finish quality is not otherwordly, hopefully someone makes a review on the THM cockpit :D. On website they listed sub 250g for 420mm variant which is not terrible. I'm not going for hardcore weenie build, sub 6kg seka spear with 32mm tubeless, so I'm not gonna be desperately needing those 20 grams.

No cut out with a relief channel instead of a cut out

[@docmccoy9813]

Old one could be salvageable

[@SonnyDarvish]

yeah it would be nice if the manufacturer has crash replacement and even better, salvage it for second chance, a bit beefed up to turn them into test saddles.

[@DanTuber]

saddles for dentists and lawyers only

[@GeorgeD1]

Okay, I have to do it... First! :D

[@youtube_chose_word_for_you]

why westerners more like long saddle.

[@ariffau]

Longer tralala
