Message	Just wondering if anyone has some real experience in having these fitted. Im not so fussed about the cost but it will take at least 8-10 weeks to get, so Im not sure if Im happy to delay my rebuild that long if its minimal benefit. How much lighter are these than other forged rods? What sort of real gains are there to be had in going for such an ultralight rod? Would love to hear everyones 2c.
