Schnavel Posted September 15, 2020 Share I don't think he was referring to the width being an issue. The Renegade has an extremely thin sidewall that punctures if you give it a fright. Exactly - these tyres are made of paper Grease_Monkey and ChUkKy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swannie87 Posted September 15, 2020 Share Very nice bike! Congratulations ???? Just a question, with the goal being to get it as light as possible why didn't you opt for the Roval Control SL ltd wheels instead of the stock Contol SL wheels? The Magura MT8 sl brakes are also a bit lighter than the Formulas you chose? Again, super nice bike but there are quite a few places where you can drop a substantial amount of weight and I was just wondering how you chose the parts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monark Posted September 15, 2020 Share Nice build bud. Could easily be lighter with a few tweaks so the owner has a lot more fun to have which is great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not trying to be a chop here, just noting that if you really want to in the future drop the weight you can still. ChUkKy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not trying to be a chop here, just noting that if you really want to in the future drop the weight you can still.No pedals and im guessing no sealant. So basically the same as Op build Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those ti bolt kits are usually marked up by the 1000's of % The suppliers could probably get you those 4 bolts for around 70bucks ChUkKy and DieselnDust 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
