Hairy Posted April 30, 2012 Posted April 30, 2012 So how heavy is your Shova? Mine is 13.6kg's with a no frills build and lots of room to lighten up. Now I am not looking for silly builds, but trail bikes that come in at a nice weight ..... what have you got and how does your build look? RegardsH
patches Posted April 30, 2012 Posted April 30, 2012 13.6... man tht's impressive! My AM bike is supposed to be 13.5kg stock standard build. But mine being a large, the addition of a chainguide, heavier chainrings (stock is XTR), a dropper post, wider bars, and chunky stem... it's sitting at 15kg now
Hairy Posted April 30, 2012 Author Posted April 30, 2012 Funny that I was thinking my Shova is a heavy pig of a build .... There was a guy I met the other day who said his came in at 11.something ... but his was a very very very XC build.
droo Posted May 2, 2012 Posted May 2, 2012 My medium's about 14 (2007 frame). Pedals, seat and wheels (and maybe brakes) could lose a bit, but the rest's about as light as I want it. IMO you'd need to keep it somewhere around the 13kg mark if you want it to be a decent trail bike, otherwise you'd just end up breaking stuff (if not components or teeth, then the bank...)
Hairy Posted May 2, 2012 Author Posted May 2, 2012 18.7kg without a water bottle . Does this include for your lazer sabre mounting braket Dirt Rider .... 18.7KG's ...flip ... what spec have you got on her!
droo Posted May 2, 2012 Posted May 2, 2012 (edited) Does this include for your lazer sabre mounting braket Dirt Rider .... 18.7KG's ...flip ... what spec have you got on her! Seem to recall he's got a DHX 4.0 and a 160mm 36 fork on it. That should bump it up a bit. Light sabres actually weigh less than air, so to keep it on during the weigh would be cheating. Edit: By Shova I'm assuming you mean the ST. LT at 18kg would be pretty standard issue. Edited May 2, 2012 by droo

NotSoBigBen Posted May 2, 2012 Posted May 2, 2012 18.7kg without a water bottle . So the bike weighs about the same as you?
dirtrider Posted May 2, 2012 Posted May 2, 2012 So the bike weighs about the same as you? Almost !! Makes this whole power/weight ratio a lot of bollie ?

Yip the ST it would be 2.6" tyres .... did you steel that off a motorbike!
Hairy Posted August 28, 2012 Author Posted August 28, 2012 any further weights to be added to this thread?
dirtrider Posted August 28, 2012 Posted August 28, 2012 Yes I now got 2.6 tyres and a DHX5 . Must be 19 now .
patches Posted August 28, 2012 Posted August 28, 2012 Yes I now got 2.6 tyres and a DHX5 . Must be 19 now . I've got 2 brand new double ply 2.7s that you can buy if you're aiming to break 20kg
droo Posted August 28, 2012 Posted August 28, 2012 I've got 2 brand new double ply 2.7s that you can buy if you're aiming to break 20kg Cheaper just to put a brick in the bottle cage...
Hairy Posted August 28, 2012 Author Posted August 28, 2012 Mine must have also picked up a little "winter warmth" with a set of Nevegal 2.35" UST tyres front and back.
