Scott Scale 29 Pro-what would you change???

[King_Crispy]

if I may ask. what does these bikes cost.?

 

Mine is custom build.

The Frame Weigh between 940 and 949 grams.

 

I build it to be light, not quite where I wanted it. I was looking at a 8.2 but sitting at 8.8

 

Custom cost me all up 72k.

 

Wheelset alone cost 24k.

 

Whats your issue?

 

Chap asked what we would change,?

 

Dont make me out as a person that lies.

 

But you said you had 3 planes?

You speak with forked tongue

Wheels are the most important IMHO. Get a decent pair. I have a Alu Giant XTC 29er, 11,2kg with Crest/Hope wheels. It's not a light bike but it doesn't feel like it. It feels alive and fast, and at the end of the day you still have to pedal it. Thumbs up to the Maxxis Ikon's

I agree with this to a point. I do believe that having a decent bike will make you faster, but this whole weight watcher biking phenomenon is crazy. A decent frame, and components that will let you put power down effectively will be cheaper, and in my opinion, nicer to ride than these weight weenies. And the guy in the video makes a valid point about crashes.

 

This last suggestions has the guy suggesting spending R30-40k to save what? 800g? Hey, its your money, but damn that seems unreasonable. I'd rather just go to bathroom before I ride, but hey, that's probably because I don't have R40k to throw at a bike.

 

I was just giving prices, I think thats crazy money, but merely giving an indication of how the curve climbs after the cheap easy grams

I do own 3 planes, and six gliders.

 

Radio control

 

What seems to be the problem?

[Andro]

yes, i still have the original grips that i dont like too much, i will change to esi and see how it goes, is it that sort of faom grip that most riders are using at the moment

What are they like in wet conditions?

 

 

Have them on my bike, No difference from dry to wet with esi grips.

Found the Truativ Noir WC carbon bars was 20grms lighter than the Richey WCS in the same lenght and slightly cheaper at CWC.

thanks for all the info, i got y wife the same bike and she will be putting on some American classis 29 race wheels, that should make a huge difference

So far i am happy with my brakes

It all cost money but with good components, you can drop alot on the seatpost

i have also changed to a xx cranks with rotor blades

Stadig maar sekerlik kom ons daar uit
