Shebeen Posted June 1, 2018 Share joined the club. bike bought off the hub, first ride over the weekend - goes like stink rm.jpgI bought this bike without thinking properly.It was cheap at the price and I intended getting a duallie frame and moving all the rad parts over. I never got that far. it just goes!I did a 550km Adventure race on it last week, carbon hardtail, whish was 380km on corrugations, in peanut butter mud that sticthioned me into a rigid for a while. All with a backpack on. ZERO chammy cream used - this is a combination of an amazingly designed bike and a murray tour de force saddle.

Fox 32 Float KashimaRaceface Carbon handlebarsS-Power 155 SadleDT Swiss x1700 Spline TWO (Rocket Ron 580g tyres front and back with only 60ml of Stans fluid)Saddle bag with (2 bombs, bomb adapter, 20 piece multi tool, Plug kit, Extra valve and Chain Link)A pump on the side and 2x Bottle cages.Guide RSC Brakes (These are light)SRAM XO1 Rear Mech and shifterSRAM PG 1130 11-42t CassetteXO Carbon CrankDirect Mount 34T Rapide Chainring (Spider alone drops like 50g) Maybe see where you can drop some weight cause 11kg is quite heavy without the Saddle bag and other extras.
