Tarmac -how bout some of the new Ti eggies and Race 29?r wheels from stans ;)

 

Hectic how the 29'er is then about as light as my 26'', though it would be much heavier, what does the frame come in at ?

Tried the Eggies and they hurt my knees. I have Time Atac XS pedals now to save them, I will try the quartz and see if they work for me otherwise the wife gets them.

 

The frameset breaks up like this for a Medium frame:

Frame 1245g (Includes clamp)

Fork cut 1614g

Headset 95g

OEM Post 215g

Spacers Supplied 6g. I only use one.

 

With the mods I plan it will be 9.45. The seatpost is heavy cos I need a 400mm so 252g there...and I wanted a matching stem which is 25-30g more than say a Deda would be...

So I broke my old frame, wore out a chainring, tyres and pedals and needed a new seatpost for the frame. This is what I ended up with:

It weighs 10.3kg at the moment... not bad for an aluminium bike with a reba fork!mtb_Josh2010-06-06 09:05:11

Ja, I think so. The tyres are about 500g each, the front wheel has a stans strip which is 100g and the back wheel just has insulation tape and a valve. I'm not too sure about the brakes as I've never weighed them, but I dont think they are all that light...

Lekker and light for that frame as well, really looks better than I though it would !

 

Some white AMC wheels would look good with a white saddle and the new XO/X9 in white accents ;)

 

The Eggbeaters should also be lightish as well as the 2 rings on the crankset, post is probly like 170g as well.
