That is looking better every time I see it! XTR matches the bike perfect, also good you have upgraded to 15mm axle. Do you feel improvement with the front wheel stiffness?
It's 28lbs flat right now weighed with the Elixirs. I have the new style XO's now, and have not weighed it yet. I'm looking at cassetes and hopefully getting a RF bar. I'm hoping 27 flat or something like that.
I am at 29.5, Rocket Ron lost like .8 lbs or something crazy…..get one more Rocket Ron for the rear, Easton EA90XC wheels should drop a stupid huge amount of weight from my shitty Bontrager/Shimano Crap hub wheelset, I am expecting at the very, very least over 1 pound off, so should be well over 2 lbs total, all rotational.
I could see that. My current wheelset is 100g heavier than stock...but stronger, both wheels are 32h and spokes are 14g. Aside from that, I may be getting a S-Works Ground Control when available to try them out and use the Captain for the Voodoo.
Ground control looks interesting. I never even realized how heavy my Captains are….crazy. I should gain stiffness too. Bike will probably feel just blazing fast.
I still don't get how your bike is that heavy….it's not a heavy duty bike, it hasn't made it to heavy bombproof parts, it's got XC/Trail lightweight parts and still isn't light at all.
I know I will be dropping big weight on just cassette. SLX isn't exactly a light contender. Plus, I'll have parts I can keep or sell and make money off.
A lot of people are clueless/scared to go tubeless.. I got ZTR Flow rims on my Demo and UST Minions, stupid light for DH and really light. Just wheelset wise I'm about a full pound lighter than I9's DH wheelset.. and I went all season without any flats or rim damage
I want...(Not need lol..it's nice to have spare parts though) Silver X.O derailluer short cage and silver X.O shifter. Deity Dirty 30 bar and I think so far thats all.
