David has worked on the road.cc tech team since July 2012. Previously he was editor of Bikemagic.com and before that staff writer at RCUK. He's a seasoned cyclist of all disciplines, from road to mountain biking, touring to cyclo-cross, he only wishes he had time to ride them all. He's mildly competitive, though he'll never admit it, and is a frequent road racer but is too lazy to do really well. He currently resides in the Cotswolds.

162g of vector 3 weight is only single side.
You should x2 weight for correct comparision.
Rolling XTR 9020 SPDs for my gravel bike.
Enjoy having two-sided access for quick entry, no matter what the situation and the wider platform for greater comfort. Usually good deals on pricing available, plus I can walk in my shoes!
