technically if you do XC, you should not wait for FS at hill top.
by average u should reach finish line faster cause although u drop slower, u climb way faster..

if you wait for FS on way up, they should wait for u on way down; that's called bike mate

ya ya of course we wait each other. just.. i already poison my self for FS

Personally speaking.. not including rotors (this is from 70grams to 140grams range), skewer and cassette.

Acceptable --> ~1.9kg
Good --> 1.6-1.7kg
Great --> damn blaaardy light.

of course this is without compromising on strength lar..and strictly from the pov of XC without big drops and such.



I think... subject to discussion
Bikelust: Full susser > HT
Timeless-ness : Full susser < HT
14kg HT < 14kg Full Susser
10kg HT > 14kg Full Susser

Pair lar.. excluding tubes and tires of course.

huh: what size is your dad's frame?

owh okok..will weight mine later...

He means the size of the wheels. I think its just the angle of the shot...

it is standard size. I also not sure.. but the angle picture taken make the bike look shorter...

I like your Oren

owh tq

yeah. compared my 13.7kg bike to a 13.6kg anthem, anthem frame around 1kg heavier, but everything else lighter, can still climb better than my HT. poisoned by its lighter wheelset+crank.

ooohhh. not bad. AM 4000 right? high spec components, nice bike.

orange goes well with black. should have gone with black brake levers imho

haha.. white no dat bad lar... I have to match with my saddle

How do you define that you can climb better on Anthem-X than HFS3000? I'm confused...

same hill section, with the anthem i'm in the middle chainring, 2nd largest rear cog. with my bike, in granny ring, same rear cog. same resistance and cadence when going uphill, only with the anthem i'm going much faster. or u wanna swap bikes to see the difference, we go frim epic ride?

Traction perhaps...

If weight the same.. sure full susser is better. But the ringgit is not the same lor.

Like that easy wat... regular hardtail... fit all deore + good fork + light-ass wheels+ lightass tires --> Mountain Goat.
