First Ride: SRAM's New GX Transmission
@WalrusRider: Yes exactly that mate. 10lb with no chain and 13lb with a chain and clutch on, so as you mentioned a 30% increase in the effective unsprung weight.

First Ride: SRAM's New GX Transmission
@WalrusRider: From tests I carried out I can assure you the additional weight of heavier components at the back end is minimal compare to how much the clutch and spring of the rear derailleur add resistance when under compression. The lower jockey wheel is pulled forward under compression which on a sram mech I tested this added 3lbs! Watch the huck to flat videos that illustrate this. It is really noticeableand can be felt by undoing one end of the shock so the back can move freely, lift the back end with the chain on then with the chain off.

Video: Actual Weights of Pro Enduro Bikes with Ed Masters
I weighed mine after building just out of interest. When speccing the bike component were chosen for reasons including weight so made sense.

E13 Carbon TRSr Trail wheelset
$180 GBPE13 carbon wheelset.
27.5" non boost. 31mm internal front, 27mm internal rear.
These have seen very little use. They came on a 2018 yt capra. The front tyre is original and illustrates how little thay have been used. They were kept as a spare after the rear rim was replaced under warranty (slight crack after hitting a drainage ditch as full mach) shortly after buying the bike. Both wheel are perfectly true. The rear rim is brand new.
The bearings are perfect.
Collection welcomed from Kendal or i can post at buyers expense.

Pole Voima eMTB Passes EFBE TRI-TEST Gravity Cat-5
You can test a frame in a jig like that as much as you want, it may prove that the frame can handle slow speed torsional stress, but it doesnt test real world riding of thousands of impact and vibrations a minute. The kind of stresses that would unbond the glue holding together the most disgusting, over engineered, frame ever produced.
I had a friend try buy a bike from Pole, his order was so far over due he requested a refund. Pole told him he could have his refund but it would be less than what he paid due to the difference in the currency exchange rate!

Fox Factory DHX2 Coil Shock 222 x 70, 8.75 x 2.75
$300 GBPFox Factory DHX2 2018.
Taken off my 2015 Capra. Fits Capra 2014 - 2018 Mk1 along with other frames.
This shock gave a huge improvement over the Bos Kirk air shock it replaced.
The mk1 Capra much better suits a linear spring rate that a coil shock provides.
Shock was recently serviced by Race Ready Suspension and the shock had a new bush and shaft at time of service.
The shock is fitted with a 400Ib spring which suits riders around 72-80kg. Spring can be easiely swapped, 2minute job.
Shock is in excellent condition.
Happy to post at buyer expensive or collection welcomed from Kendal.
