Weight Weenie's early bday pressie...

[mtb_Josh]

I have not seen so much action here in long time!

 

is 9.33 HT light?

 

 

 

Its quite light for a pretty durable bike. WW doesn't have any very flimsy parts on there.

 

 

 

WW - how did you balance the wheels on the scale like that

[stewie911]

He used a powerbalance

Haha no.

Why I dont like tubeless, old wheel and tubleless tyre = almost 350g more on just the front wheel...

sh*t that is a good weight running those wheels and with conti tyres!!

Maybe I've confused you slightly, the bike is 9,3kg with the MMX wheels and Maxxis tyres.  It was 9,5kg with the Maxxis tyres and 355 wheels.

 

The conti tyre is UST on the 355 wheel, so the 350g saving is maxxis on MMX VS UST conti on 355, thats just the front wheel. 

 

Hope that makes sense ?

Hi WW bit confused when you say you dont like tubeless arent the ZTR's tubeless rims? or did you mean you dont like tubeless conversions because of the extra weight?

[stewie911]

I think he means UST tyres because of their weight

[Weight Weenie]

Yes UST tyres, I love the stans tubeless system. Sorry for the confusion.

 

Rode the UST tyres thursday, not impressed.  They are heavy and take ages to get up to speed once you slow down and the thick casing make them quite stiff.  Folding tyres ftw !
