NICE!0

Now finished and ready for its maiden voyage:
Taken it for a quick ride up the road to double check everything, seems to accelerate fast and has no downsides at all in comparison to the old Malt.0 -

Cheers, yep once you go black you never go back
Nar white would have looked wrong and i am glad they have grey/silver decals on them.
Scales might be here tomorrow so i am going to weigh this and the blur. Will be interesting to get some decent accurate figures for them both.0 -

Before you sell your current wheels/tyres, weigh them, then at least you know where you are with the weight and what you'd be looking at with new ones in terms of weight savings.0 -

Not selling it but selling the wheels.0 -

I might be watching to see what choice you make rather than the other way round then mate
ZTRs are floating my boat at the moment because they seem a bit more exclusive... For now anyway.0 -
Pro 3 355 SP XC 3's ORDERED. Just need some light skewers and tyres now.0
-
Weighed the old wheels today. Rear wheel complete with cassette,160mm xt 6 bolt rotor, hope steel qr and panaracer fire xc tyre is 5.3lbs. Front complete with 160mm xt 6 bolt rotor, hope steel qr and panaracer fire xc tyre is 4.42lbs.
Then i weighed the bike with no wheels on it and it weighed in at this:
16.52lbs.0 -
Done a bit of number crunching and I am going to take a punt at it been between 23.5 and 24lbs with the new wheel and tyre setup.0
-
Yep ordered now Bontrager Mud X 2.0's.0
-
Ordered the rim tape with the wheels and already got spare stans olympic valves as i am already tubeless on my Blur using stans flow rims, thanks for the reminder though.0
-
Tomorrow should see the arrival of the Hope hoops Pro3 SP XC3 wheel set with stans 355 rims and then hopefully later in the week the following should arrive:
Bontrager Mud X 2.0 TR tyres,
XTR Skewers (not light but the best skewers available imho).
Then that should be it, build finished hopefully (bar possibly a easton stem).0 -

Cool, let me know. I am going for some KCNC in blue for the Marin, hence the sale.
Selling the XTR to fund the KCNC. As before they are brand new with the stickers still on LOL0 -
Just PM'd you, i will take them as they are out of stock at the place i ordered my XTR ones from
Anyhow had a nice parcel off Wiggle this morning:
They are nice and light as well, this is with stans yellow rim tape installed:
