rad006 Posted October 1, 2008 Share So after looking at 2nd hand wheelsets then saying im going custom to changing my mind at the last minute due to CRC running out of Brass Lock Nipples here is my bike!!! Oh and I got a spare set as well What I learnt is that if you go from a 160mm rotor to a 180mm including the adapter you add 100grams to the bike weight. The wheels might be entry level but they weigh 400grams less in total than my old DT SWiss/Mavic wheelset-Using same tyres but added tyre liners Total bike weight with all extras is 12.9kg so still going to shave alot off with future developments Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rad006 Posted October 1, 2008 Share @ Turtlek my next upgrades are yes dumping the barends goin KCNC stem and handlebars, Maybe changing my heavier Yutaak saddle for a Selle Italia SLR and getting some PIMP KCNC skewers & derailer cogs @ PaulVs much cheaper than local Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zaskar Posted October 1, 2008 Share Nice build, but i would loose that mud guard. Ive got a nice set of Crud Catchers that i bought in the UK, but i think they totally spoil the look of the bike. So i keep them hidden, and only bring them out when its very very muddy. Like the rotor effect, what paint did you use on them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That way it looks like my fox fork controls almost... Thanks Speedi I love my mudgaurd just think I must bend it up alittle in the front Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
