Today I switched from x7 shifter to x9 shifter(with my old x9 rear d) w/ a lightweight and shorter cable/housing and went from heavy zip ties to lightweight zip ties in a vain attempt to save weight on a 50+lb Banshee. MLIA.
it weighs 44.4 now after a new saddle and stans tubeless and should be sub 44 when the new chainguide finally arrives (it was backordered on crc forever, now in the mail.)
