bontie Posted December 9, 2011 Share Is this the lightest 29er in SA? 7.4kg, with Polar CS600X Possibly - but how long will it last on the dusty rocky roads of SA? Weight, money and strength(durability) - fine balance Still is quite cool, would work better with a Lefty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'Kaze Pete Posted December 9, 2011 Share Is this the lightest 29er in SA? 7.4kg, with Polar CS600XÂ Mine is made of hot air so it has a negative weight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ti guy Posted December 9, 2011 Share Possibly - but how long will it last on the dusty rocky roads of SA? Weight, money and strength(durability) - fine balance Still is quite cool, would work better with a Lefty  I have put it through all kinds of terrain that I have encountered in 5 Cape Epics - handled it rather well, although my arms were somewhat tender after a 5 hour ride on rocky jeeptrack last week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolweseun Posted December 9, 2011 Share With a carbon fork it means nothing  not really that light jeremy.king 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ti guy Posted December 9, 2011 Share With a carbon fork it means nothing  not really that light Know of anything lighter? I can probably bring it to under 7kg, but then I will have to sacrifice the XTR pedals for maybe Egg Beaters [don't like], the XTR chain for a Dura Ace chain and a XX cassette. The Tune saddle will we replaced by an AX Lightness next week, which will shave off another 38g. Edited December 9, 2011 by ti guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree it doesn't really mean anything to me(weight wise) with it running a rigid fork Edited December 9, 2011 by Smiles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christie Posted December 9, 2011 Share Isn't a mtb with a rigid fork a bit pointless? Sure, it is light, but so is a road bike, as pointed out by Big J. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eldron Posted December 9, 2011 Share Damn dude - if you did 5 Epics in Rigid mode then you are my new hero - I can't manage more than 70km before the blisters start forming... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chain-L Posted December 9, 2011 Share Awesome wheels. Saw a bike at the Ride the Rhino this year with ax Lightness handlebars, stem and seatpost. Firtst time I saw AX stuff and researched it a bit. Damn fine stuff but pricey.a Where did you get those wheels and what did they set you back if I may ask? You obviously know your stuff, did you compare the wheels with a ENVE wheelset? Can one use carbon wheels as everyday wheels? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolweseun Posted December 9, 2011 Share Bottom line is what does the frame weigh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chain-L Posted December 9, 2011 Share Can possibly shave a few more grams with a Hollowgram crank and SRAM parts. Will you post the full specs please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
