Finally got my frame
Thoughts on the build sitting at 41 pounds and I'm getting new tires and going tubeless so that will drop a little weight

My new frame build

That's a sweet setup! Surprised it's at 41 lbs though, looks like relatively light build from what I can see (rims and cranks, pretty much, but still..)

The killer for weight is my 2.7 triple wall kenda Tomac with a 2.5 mm thick downhill tube front wheel is over 7 pounds
Rear also has a minion 2.5 with said tube.
I am going tubeless with a lighter front tire so that should drop a lot of weight

I am confused. Why the hell you buy a dropper post for a FR/DH bike?

Hey guys, got a noob question.
I ride a 2013 status 2. Im wanting to get rid of the elixir 5s (garbage) and grab some new rotors. Im looking at saints. If i were to buy new rotors too, would i be able to just pull off the old rotors and put the new ones on? and then throw the brakes on. is there anything i have to do, special mounts i need if the new rotors are a different size than the old? I don't want to buy the new brakes, and rotors, just to see that they don't align. or is it really just buy and swap?

The Status runs an 8 inch in front and 7 out back from the factory. If you buy Saints (and I do recommend them I have a set myself and they are fantastic) you would buy those size rotors and be all set. If you wish to go 8 inch out back you will need and adapter. With so much power on tap it's really not needed though.

The dropper allows you to pedal up to the trails in the off season (I got a KS 150mm). No lift, no shuttle, no problem! Wink

Or have an AM bike and/or trail bike? (Not trying to start shit, rode a lot on my Status last season when I first got it for trails.)
