Proto..?

[Joe Riley]

They weren't oversized. Back when you could buy aluminum buffs, you could buy chromoly steertubes.

Ohh I see so basically like sz 3 piece?

 

[Matt O'Rourke]

The only buffs I'd ever ride were the ones with the original ADARACING stems. The chromo ones are disgusting imo, too heavy. Plus aluminum buffs had a really clean, nice look that chromoly ones don't have.

I'm pretty sure fullcore protos are discontinued.

edit- does anyone know where i can get pink spoked protos? i'm like dying for a pair.

yeah i had the old buffs too. Two of them, one i traded and i got a bigger pair and then my friend lost my scoot that had my buffs on it.. =[

Spoked Protos are NOT going to break. So if you can pick between two extremely strong things, and one is lighter than the other, most people are going to pick the lighter one.

Probably so but you really don't loose much weight and it still costs more to make, thus raising the sale price.

 

[Justin Vogelsberger]

yea but they probably recycle all the alu. they cut out from in between the spokes

 

[BrandonWeir]

Maybe. I still prefer full cores.
