wow.

RecklessInsanity (Oct 4, 2009 at 14:02)

Yeah i know eh? And I can still go lighter. Tubeless and Ti Spring sometime in the future,

gtbiker87 (Oct 6, 2009 at 15:06)

That's sick, I have been running tubeless and it not only saves weight, but it's a lot more reliable than tubes when your on the trails.

RecklessInsanity (Oct 6, 2009 at 16:27)

I might swap, heard they don't save as much as they say they do. I'm already running ultra light tubes.

gtbiker87 (Oct 7, 2009 at 16:13)

No, I only saved around half a pound with mine.

RecklessInsanity (Oct 7, 2009 at 16:15)

Not really worth it to me then.

gtbiker87 (Oct 7, 2009 at 16:17)

It saved me flats in the mountains this past summer though. It's impossible to get pinch flats.

RecklessInsanity (Oct 7, 2009 at 16:29)

I haven't gotten a pinch flat. Anti-snake bite design on my rims virtually eliminate pinch flats.

RecklessInsanity (Oct 4, 2009 at 19:13)

Yeah I wanna try and get it a bit lighter.

change that seat post, maybe an easton carbon one and you will save >1lb

RecklessInsanity (Oct 5, 2009 at 6:23)

I have enough carbon on my bike, but I might consider it. thanks for the tip.

haha Backpeddaling is such an eclectic shop. It's nice but I have not had much luck there

RecklessInsanity (Oct 5, 2009 at 13:00)

Well that's too bad for you then, i've had great luck there.

valtra (Oct 7, 2009 at 13:03)

I know they have some really qualified staff, but each time I have been in they dump this half retarded guy.

dude, you could shed 200grams on brakes, around a 100grams on the bars, some more on stem post and saddle! how is this so light??? how much do those forks weigh??!

RecklessInsanity (Nov 5, 2009 at 16:29)

It's even lighter now. Sub 35 lbs with new shock and Titanium spring and 6 inch rear rotor and carbon fiber spacers. The Fork weighs 5.8lbs...lighter than the 2010 BoXXer WC.

chazdog (Nov 5, 2009 at 16:35)

droool, i almost bought one, but it was in poor nick and didnt work. i may be going to a 2006 888 ata, thats 6.5lbs, not bad for an 888!

RecklessInsanity (Nov 5, 2009 at 16:38)

That is pretty light, my 2005 888 VF weighed in at around 7 pounds.

chazdog (Nov 5, 2009 at 16:44)

well my whole bike was 42 with heavier chainguide, and tyres, so 40/41 now. the aim is sub 40, the i'm not to bothered!

RecklessInsanity (Nov 5, 2009 at 16:51)

Oh wow. If I wanted to, I could probably shed off 2 pounds by switching to an air shock and going tubeless and going to the LG1+ chainguide and ditching the bashring.

chazdog (Nov 6, 2009 at 4:26)

thats ridiculous! you'd have the lightest bike on pinkbike!! lighter than that 34lbs v10 on here!

RecklessInsanity (Nov 6, 2009 at 6:05)

Lightest downhill bike though is an Intense Socom weighing in at 31.46 lbs. I'd have to beat that.

chazdog (Nov 6, 2009 at 8:45)

jesus, thats insane, can u gimmie a lik to it?

RecklessInsanity (Nov 6, 2009 at 9:46)
