Super Sywurm

Weigh less than the Sido? What? How many tons did they weigh?

This is my first Silverback, somebody else should answer this question.

My future project will be to reduce the weight of the bike. I have a wheel set that is +- 200g lighter. Just need do build it onto the boost hubs.

Aaah yes, forgot about the pedals. Well, I ride for fun and exercise. It is fun riding the bike and I get a bit more exercise while riding it.

With a small hand pump, two bottle cage and a Reba fork, the large frame bike weigh at +- 15.1 kg.

I removed the Tektro brakes from my new bike last night and replaced them with my old and trustworthy Shimano brakes.

I upgraded my Kore wheels with the AC rims and I did not feel any difference. They were a lot lighter, but I don't know by how much. My conclusion was, the faster you ride, the more of a difference it would make. Hence, using the lighter wheels with slicks on the road will make more sense than using the lighter wheels off road. (I am no expert, just my experience).

Or maybe using some of these: New Bitmap Image.bmp https://www.google.com/search?q=boost+hub+adapter&rlz=1C1EJFA_enZA780ZA780&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwilpuK8qNzjAhXHbFAKHSeeAHEQ_AUIEigC&biw=1366&bih=625

Yes, I was thinking about building the boost hubs onto the AC rims.

Another question: Put lighter American Classic rims on the bike, or use the AC rims with slicks as road wheels? The lighter rims for road or off road?

Can you send me a link for the rims? The bars on the new bike is approximately 780 mm and the bars on my old bike I think is 680 mm. I don't mind riding the wider bars, it actually feels good riding with them. Was just wondering what it would do if they were shorter. I think the wider bars is better for steering on the longer bike.

I have heard a couple of times that a specific bike is faster than another bike and I always thought this was a b$lls&it statement to make. But this bike feels faster than my Giant XTC. It is also a bit longer than my hard tail and it kind of feels sloppy with the length of the bike and the wider handle bars, but that is something I need to get used to. The brake levers are rattling, but I am completely upgrading then, so no worries. I only done about 50km on it, so overall I will really miss my Giant XTC, but this is an excellent bike, a bit on the heavy side (you get what you pay for). I am not a pro cyclist, so I don't mind. I do it for the fun of it. Question, what difference will a shorter handle bar make on a bike like this? Edit: And another thing, where can I get the weight of these rims. Can't seem to find the specs on the internet.

Got mine!!!

I actually hope I don't get my bike today, because I wouldn't be able to ride this weekend. I don't want my bike standing there and looking at me with sad eyes.

Nice, how many km's did you do on it?

Jealousy makes me nasty!

But the local bike shop in town has one, as well as the carbon model. Went to look at them, really good looking bikes.

HAHA, I don't no. Still waiting... The courier said it will deliver this afternoon or on Monday.

I am receiving mine on Thursday of Friday.

Will do.

No, not yet. I have the tracking number...

Yes, exactly.

Now you ask antoher noob a question, but I think the standard shock and fork on the bike does not have remote lockout on the handlebars, but the fork I am upgrading to has remote lockout.
