Haven't got your PM asking for my bank account yet

And a tandem to carry Robin



Look at your X3. It's more or less it... maybe for shorter stem... and lose a bit of weight without going WW.

Here's an example.. 5050X I think is better for gravity... DH'ers since it's build for indestructability.

For a trail bike... something lighter yet with the same functionality like the xpedo's or wellgo MG1 will suffice.
The weight difference is 200+grams here.

If you have money to spend.. don't have to be weight obsessed but being weight conscious is good. All these little grams and decisions adds up to your whole ride.

Oh.. DEFINATELY need a new wheelset

bolded : i hate u for reminding me of that!hahahaha...
been thinking of it too...
but changing wheelset...
i need to change hubs no?
the mavic comes with a 15QR....
but my fork is 9mm drop off....

or is there a 9mm version?

Which Mavic you're referring to?

2 routes wat....

1) Buy wheelset .... whole thing

2) Buy/build hubs + rims + spokes + skewers

IMO.. wheels are the 3rd most uber important because.

1) Expensive: So won't be changing it like underwear

2) Makes a HUUUUUUGE difference. 100gram of weight difference can be felt. Drop 200gram and you can pedal with same/less effort on 1 gear higher.

So this is where you need to put your foot down... if you need the strength... then by all means go for the AM wheelsets.. else ... light ones are the way to go.

whats ur recommendation?
my current wheelset is at 2.2+kg!
:-s

and how much does the mechanism weigh .

Depends on how much you wanna spend and what's available also..

For the "affordable" factory wheelsets

FSA XC lor --> ~1.8kg
Mavic Crossrides --> ~1.9kg
XT WH-M775 --> ~1.7kg
American Classic stuff --> Dun like em but they're light ~1.6kg


OT: HeBe needs to lose some weights too

Bling is nice but can easily over-build and end up being heavier than his stock wheelset mar.

Hope Pro3 weighs 1435g per set of wheelset...

it's ok cause he dont ride that often wahahahaha
