Swissvan - nice, but where is the 2x9?

[SwissVan]

 

Vanniri - I decided the climbs we have here would best be enjoyed with 3 x 9 options.

I managed to build a softail weighing in at 8950g.

Not telling a joke.

It seriously weighs under 9kg

AND a complete break down of the buildkit.

[Weight Weenie]

Yep sorry Im too excited, totally forgot about that. 

 

On a side note, my No Tubes Podium MMX wheelset left the us on the 9th, so im getting excited to see some more weight loss on my bike, looking at around 300g give or take.  Should take her down to 9,2kg which is going to cost me more and more money as im now really tempted to do stupid stuff to get it sub 9

Call me before you start stripping the paint off your bike ww. Then I'm stopping you.

[Weight Weenie]

Nah still allot I could do - foam grips, lighter tyres, 140 rear rotor, 2x9 setup, eggbeater 4 ti's, remove the bar ends etc.

My newly built Schwinn Moab SC2 (Black label)

 

 

 

 

Red KCNC spacers is the only bling at the moment. Red skewers on their way.

 

Very proud of the extralite handlebar and stem from ridr.

 

Upgrades in the next month or so:

 Red QR skewers.

 Truvativ noir 3.3 cranks with 2x9 setup

 50g/pair handlebar ends on their way (Not sure if I'll use them)

 Unbranded carbon bottle cages

 140mm rear rotor

 

 

And maybe new wheels towards the end of the year.

[WorcesterWheelers]

Nice ride Stewie.

 

My SC1 bike that I build up last year was an awesome ride and I'm sure Wallee is loving it still.

 

Enjoy.

What is the reliability of all these weight weenie parts on a mountainbike if you do stage racing or even just every weekend?

 

Would it not be wiser to go for something that will last a little bit longer than something that MIGHT break or malfunction on a regular basis?

[stewie911]

I think its durable enough for hard riding, but if you fall and hit it on a rock then you are screwed. I wouldn't ride the epic with extralite. It also has a 90kg weight limit.

[Sloggy]

and the weight? 

[stewie911]

I have not weighed it yet, only the individual parts. Should be around 10.6kg.

 

Wheels are not the lightest and kenda nevegals are 770g each. Only decided to go light weight after I had most of the parts. Not going to spend thousands for weight saving. Will upgrade to better parts if I rally need to.
