isitafox Posted January 21, 2010 Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 Over 2 kilos is fairly hefty by the weight of a lot of todays frames. Bearing in mind it is almost a 15" frame, and from Heavy Tools you wouldn't expect much less! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Rankin Posted January 21, 2010 Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 I just spent 3 hours making my rear rim single wall, cutting the tread down on my tyre and swapping to a lighter rim tape..........total saving.....70grams. What a waste of my life. Still im going to persist with my weight saving quest to get my bike nice and light for the season ahead....lighter is better!

trialsmax04 Posted January 21, 2010 Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 My bike weighs 11.3kg's. When a freind rode it for the first time, he thought it was sub 9kg. Tells you something eh? Set your bikes up properly and even a 12kg bike wont feel heavy. Anyway, if you have fun riding it, who cares? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danny Metcalfe Posted January 22, 2010 Report Share Posted January 22, 2010 I take heavier Sh1ts then most of your bikes....put together! I Must admit i like all the diff quirks, and modifications you can do to make your bikes lighter, however its not for me.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muel Posted January 22, 2010 Report Share Posted January 22, 2010 Should get stocks! When I single walled my rear rim I saved over 100g, then a further 80g for the side knobbles and about 20g by switching to sellotape for rim tape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
