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?0 -
Tyres, wheels,forks, innertubes. After that the Grams saved for money spent starts to fall0

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)www.settingascene.com - MTBing in Wilts and the southwest, join up for info and ride details.0 -
