Sam T Posted October 2, 2010 Report Share Posted October 2, 2010 For a start, you could loose either your bash plate or bash ring. You dont really need both. I'd suggest taking your bash plate off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greetings Posted October 2, 2010 Report Share Posted October 2, 2010 It doesn't look like a heavy spec. How much does it weigh? I'd recommend you get Monty 221Ti cranks, an Echo ISIS BB with the aluminium bolts/Trialtech Lite bb and Echo TR caged pedals. Also take a look at front Echo TR rim hubs. They're pretty strong and also very light. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kieran Morrison Posted October 2, 2010 Report Share Posted October 2, 2010 Jake speaks the truth Also, when you get rid of those god-awful forks you will notice a big difference in weight, they we over 1kg i think?

Kieran Morrison Posted October 2, 2010 Report Share Posted October 2, 2010 He really should get trialtech forks, not koxx snap forxx He aint the kind of rider that does gap to fronts of 5 pallets, and doesnt ride too hard, so he wont snap them any time soon, i have been riding dob magnesiums for a year and they have been on the koxx xtp 282 for a few months before that and they are still running strong. Although with a 190mm bb7 on the front i cant see them staying alive much longer..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

isitafox Posted October 2, 2010 Report Share Posted October 2, 2010 Splash out on a try all lite rear tyre, that'll knock half a kilo off I'd have thought! And maybe go for a kenda 8 block on the front as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
