removing a massive amount of weight from the front end will make your bike a damn site easier to get up stuff. for an easy experiment, like I did, change the parts for the lighter ones, then tape a bag of sugar to the underneath of your stem. go and ride your fave spot for half an hour. then remove it and go ride again. you will get up bigger stuff straight away, as well as helping your mindset at the same time. the feel from ally will be loads better as well
