Hermanus Cycles Posted January 26, 2010 Share I have been playing with bits and bobs,not too expensive,trying to get my 29er Xtc as light as is affordable. What have you got and with what kit and weight? Mine is down to 10.6kg with pedals and sealant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thug Posted January 26, 2010 Share Got my Scandal down to 10.9kg with the Carbon fork. Haven't weighed it since I put the Squishy fork & Hopes on. Just received the braided hose for the Hopes, so will be changing that this weekend. Still have to put on a decent headset and change the crank. Think my Peace must be somewhere around 14-15kg's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thug Posted January 26, 2010 Share Never weighed the Peace and GT don't have the weight on their website but being a steel frame and fork, it has to be at least 3-4kg's heavier than my Scandal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hog_ Posted January 26, 2010 Share Mikes Bikes built a Santa Cruz Tallboy to 11.4kg. Not bad for a full-suspension 29er! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TitusTi Posted January 26, 2010 Share Yeah, my SS Scandal is also just under 10kg mark, my Titus Racer X with gears comes in at about 11.4 most of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hermanus Cycles Posted January 26, 2010 Share This is what my Giant XTC 29er looks like after the diet. 10.6 until I get the cane creek bar ends off.I think those are 230gr. It started at 11.8kgs with no pedals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wyatt Earp Posted January 26, 2010 Share My Epic is 11.5 kg's, I have not even started saving weight and couldn't be too bothered. My Steel S.I.R. 9 is 9.8 kg's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flea Posted January 26, 2010 Share Size does matter though - my 22" Evolve is 13kg - as on the road (pedals, sealant, grips, bottle cage etc) That was before I added the Polar sensor, bar-ends, lights and saddle bag though. Have not tried to make lighter yet - just happy to be out there riding Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flowta Posted January 26, 2010 Share Not quite a 29er but half way there My SS 69er weighed in at around 10kgs, when it had an old Deore DX crankset and the original steel fork. Haven't weighed it as it is now. This is what it has on now. Frame: 1994 Diamond back APEX Fork: 26" Exotic Rigid Carbon Front wheel: Alexrims G2000 on LX hub, with 29" WTB Exiwolf 2.3 Rear Wheel: Alexrims DM18 on Novatec hub, specialized Fast track Crank: XTR 960 (half way through Jones mod) with Mono Veloce chainring Handlebar: On-one Fleegle etc. Setup up as singlespeed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eldron Posted January 26, 2010 Share Niner Air 9 Large / Reba SL fork / XT-XTR group / Velocty VXC rims / Conti Race Kings tubeless / PRO Koryak finishing kit / not a single piece of carbon 10.9kg Sub 10kg is probably possible with a lot of money and a significant loss in reliability...
