hows the dhx on there? ive still got the rc4 on mine but am thinking about switching it out to save some weight - any input?

kovaldesign (Sep 12, 2010 at 12:52)

I'm happy with the air shock but I believe the coil one is plusher. If I had such a great shock like RC4 I would think of putting on a titanium spring for weight saving.

hell yeah!! i was kinda doubtful at first when i bought that wheels, but when i put all together, all my doubt vanish ^^

I have a hard time to believe that your fr30 is a tiny bit heavier than mine...

kovaldesign (May 4, 2011 at 2:38)

sure it can be built lighter, still at 15kg it is a very capable bike and about 2.5kg lighter than a stock FR30

voltagerider (May 4, 2011 at 16:46)

Yeah, mine is at 33 lbs right now and I would like to drop it to about 30 lbs with lighter tires and stuff... I started drilling some holes lol.

how do you like fat alberts? do you know real weight? cheers, superb bike.

kovaldesign (Sep 12, 2010 at 10:40)

Thanks. Fat Alberts are pretty good, better grip than my other large volume tyres (Continental Diesel Protection 2.5" weight 800g) and are one of the lightest in its category at only 750g. These are the folding 2.4 EVO version, triple compound.

So very nice. You do know how to build a bike.

kovaldesign (Sep 13, 2010 at 5:52)

Time, patience and passion goes into every project, not to mention some cash, but trying to be very reasonable with the last one [even the tyres were bought second hand

How much does it weight? Edit: NVm I see that its 33.1lbs.

AndrewMK (Jan 27, 2011 at 10:23)

sweet build bud!!! check out mine....

kovaldesign (Jan 27, 2011 at 10:47)

hah! from your recent picture I can see our bikes have something in common

- I think bright green and yellow work very well together.
