If you want light, go for a Boxxer. And don't take the Maxxis tires, they're heavy.

No-One knows shit. First, those aren't XC Hubs, those are just budget Dh/Fr hubs. Second, the Manitou Revox in the picture is way better than the DHX5.0. Third, the 888SL is nearly a pound heavier than the Boxxer.

Oh, and here is my suggestions- Mavic 721 rims, Boxxer WC, Direct mount stem (for either the 888 or the Boxxer), Stans No-Tubes, and ditch the pedals and the seat/post.

maxxis tires and tubes are heavy. if youre trying to save weight, go with like nevegals and not downhill tubes.
