Uprights Weight
Does anyone know the weight of their uprights?
Not fussed if it includes hubs, steering arms, etc... I'd just like to get an idea of what each design weighs.
Ta muchly!

My preference would be bare weights if anyone has any lying around or has the numbers in their head...

Vauxhall Viva front upright.
No bearing, so bare.
1.5kg.
That's one point five kilogrammes.
Or, if you like, 3lbs 5oz.
They're not heavy...

Home made upright (Roarty) 1.9kg
Calipers pads and bracket (hispec) 2.7kg
alloy hub, bearings 1.6kg
bell & 280 disc 3.0kg
Adds up to 9.2 kg but total on scales weighs 9.7kg - says a lot for scale accuracy!!!

Cheers guys, I appreciate it!
Just trying to work out whether it's worth keeping the two hubs that came with my single seater... 6.5kg including the hubs.
I was thinking this was a bit lardy... and now the LCB massive has confirmed it!
