Lightening a Mongoose Tyax.... Help Please

joec1

An odd question...

I have a Mongoose Tyax Super (2009) as my "HT" and a Specialized Pitch as my FSR....

I have entered the Set to Rise (a 12 hr team event in Erlestoke... consisting of 7 mile laps) the course is aparently a HT course. however i am very aware that my Mongoose is rather heavy...

Can i have some suggestions as to how to reduce the weight effectively... i have no issue buying new bits...

asside from the frame, what items would make the biggest weight difference??

Tyres.

What is your budget?

Tyres, wheels,forks, innertubes. After that the Grams saved for money spent starts to fall

Tyres... hadnt thought of them....

Budget of around £100 to make it as light as i can (as some of the bits i can swap over to my pitch if i dont get along with them on the HT)

Lighter tyres and a tubeless conversion kit ?
