Philitup (Feb 15, 2015 at 10:09)

Exaggeration much?

yeah man it took me waay longer than I expected. But so worth it!

Weight? Thinking I may want to slap some gears on mine. Looks good!

Philitup (Feb 14, 2015 at 16:49)

Actually a lot heavier than I expected it to be. The only scale I've weighed it on said 27 lbs even. That may not have been accurate though. I was expecting the build to come out more around 25

whattheheel (Feb 14, 2015 at 16:54)

I am at 25 lb 10 ish oz. Pretty stock atm minus brake, seat, post and bar and stem. New cranks should lose some and I'll add some of that back with heavier front tire. Wheels be next for me at some point.

Pretty cray that it's 27 lbs. I'm thinking that your wheels are part of the problem. Although stout, they're not the lightest. My Ticket S was about 25 lbs with X01 DH and a full chain guide. Oh yeah also that G1 in the back isn't helping you.

Philitup (Feb 14, 2015 at 17:37)

Yeah. I like G1s because of the 80psi max pressure. I do a lot of street riding too and wanted a G1 in the back for that reason

seraph (Feb 14, 2015 at 17:48)

Fasho. I only ran about 40 psi in my G Zeros but then again I also had rear suspension.

Down to 24.5 with the swap to turbine cranks. Wheels are my next plan of attack.

Philitup (Mar 3, 2015 at 14:25)

Sweet! Really like the black/white scheme you're putting together. Complete stealth looks good but it's too mainstream

whattheheel (Mar 3, 2015 at 14:32)

Thanks. I think I may swap out the seat. Not sure yet.

seraph (Mar 3, 2015 at 14:41)

Wheels are a big one!

whattheheel (Mar 3, 2015 at 14:45)

Yeah, they be cheap bro.

seraph (Mar 3, 2015 at 14:52)

Gotta save money somewhere on that build. Pike DJ and Ticket frame not cheap.
