_Pat_ Posted August 28, 2014 Posted August 28, 2014 H7.86 kgs.....what about when you put the wheels back on? 7.86kg
DJ84 Posted August 28, 2014 Posted August 28, 2014 7.86kg I must say that is damn light. My 26" hardtail was at 8kg's flat with rigid fork and wheels that weighed 2kg's with tyres.I have only carbon and nothing less than XT, it was also a 1x9.
Guest Smimby Posted August 28, 2014 Posted August 28, 2014 Edit.......Removed as this does not qualify for to here.As per Th3voic3 (happy now?)
Bicycle Supply Chain Posted August 28, 2014 Posted August 28, 2014 was my old bike last year. Please can we have a spec on this bike. it 1 kg lighter than mine and I can see certain items that weigh more than my bike Saddle, fork, tyres, cranks, 2x10, front derailler, etc Unless you got an extremely light wheel set and frame, handlebar, stem combo I don't see how you could be 1kg lighter than me with items listed above weighing 600-800gr more than on my bike, effectively making it 1.8kg lighter!!! Than would be a 7.2kg bike with 1x10, different tyres, cranks, and saddle. - World cup pro level Very interested to see the spec sheet Mike

FrankG Posted August 28, 2014 Posted August 28, 2014 believe it or not hey :-) my next build will be way lighter when I get there. That weight is quite hard to believe, can you post the specs so I can see where I can shave 1,5 kg off an otherwise full carbon build...?

_Pat_ Posted August 29, 2014 Posted August 29, 2014 It was end of last year so lost the build sheet but will put down what i still have and can remember Scott scale rc frame: 956sid for (brain)+Expander: 1472Alero H/B: 150gKcnc Stem: 108gGrips : 11gBreaks + Rotors: 513gXX Shifter: 91gSeat, Sella Italia: 134gSeatost: 175gHeadset +Seatpost Collar: 110SRAM Red F/D + Bracket: 91gXX Rearf deraileur: 188gCrank (Rotor Crank 1x10): 670gEggbeater 11s: 184gXX Casette: 207gKMC Chain: 234KCNC Quickrelease: 44gStans: 140g for both wheels. I believe if 70g of sealant doesnt seal a hole you not gonna seal it and might as well put a tube in. In the picture i had my american classic front wheel and a carbon back wheel that i was building up at the time.The carbon wheels i built up had a tune kong/Princess hubs, PIllar 1417 spokes (Bsically revoloutions and) Carbon rims from China. The first rims i bout from China broke i shall admit. But have bought from a more reliable source but the rims together only added 50g to the wheel set which now sit at plus minus 1350g. The american classics were 1427g which i used mostly as i didnt get a chance to race the first china wheels, the second set i built up i have been racing for a year now. Back wheel had a specilized s-works tyre at around 440-460g and a RR front at around 520g. You obviously have to add on a little for gear cables grease valves etc.
