Just under 10kg, but the outer cabling and spacers will knock it up. New tyres, tubes, 11-32 cassette and XTR shifters are next!0 -

Really nice, Zaskar's look great, something about the triple triangle I think! I've not ridden one but can't understand why they, and GT's in general, aren't more popular?0
-
A set of Sids or DT Swiss forks could save you some weight.
I would have also thoguht a set of Formulas would save some weight over the Hayes and also offer better braking.
I have got my HT right down, but I am thingkin of fititng a dropper seat post!0 -
Lots of alternatives will save weight, is all about cost ;-)
I paid £40 for the Reba, and £70 for the Hayes Carbon.0 -
-
That was the stinger, was £600 in 2008. But at the time was the cheapest carbon HT frame you could get from a UK dealer with full warranty, and certainly the only one that could take up to 130mm forks.0

I remember when you bought that. Wasn't it via Wiggle?
I was hugely tempted myself.2006 Giant XTC

Yeah, Wiggle had them at a nice reduction. Is my only ever 'bought with the heart' purchase really, but in the end was worth it!0
-
Mr Toast bought one too. I think he broke his. I remember all this because it was a tempting deal at the time.

His went in the same place as the surface crack appeared on mine, hence I was a bit worried.0
-
Changed the forks for some Manitou Minute MRD - has knocked 0.4lbs off, and the more linear spring seems to work better for me.

Me likes. Would have looked better in black but still looks nice!
What cranks are they?
My fork is black...wanna swap?

I think I'll keep it ;-)
Cranks are Truvativ Noir carbon, with 10 speed rings fitted. I'll put a full spec list up in a bit.0 -

Damn.
Never seen them before, they look quite nice.0 -
Nice bike, nice spec......just Nice!Currently riding a Whyte T130C, X0 drivetrain, Magura Trail brakes converted to mixed wheel size (homebuilt wheels) with 140mm Fox 34 Rhythm and RP23 suspension. 12.2Kg.0

In an about turn I am 'downgrading' it! The 10 speed mech, shifters and cassette are out, to be replaced by old XT M750 shifters, my trusty M952 XTR rear mech and a new 9 speed full titanium cassette!
Reasons? I prefer the old feel of the shifting, and the cassette is a whopping 200g lighter!0 -
I wouldn't dare ask how much that cassette cost!
How heavy is it....my 9speed 11-34 XT is 296g, I don't see even full Ti being 96g so assume your 10 was a fair bit heavier!
Sounds nice though.Currently riding a Whyte T130C, X0 drivetrain, Magura Trail brakes converted to mixed wheel size (homebuilt wheels) with 140mm Fox 34 Rhythm and RP23 suspension. 12.2Kg.0 -
the claimed weight on my 11-34 xtr ti cassette is 255g...but for 10speed...i could weight it?0
-
Using an 11-36 PG1050, so 360g. This is 159g!
Also getting some ti axled pedals that weigh 170g, and some Rocket Rons. Should knock in total about 600g off!0 -

Unbranded classifieds special lol.
These are the pedals:

Done my research, pretty sure are that weight and have ti axles, and the platform is not too small either.0 -
To be that weight the axles would have to be Ti!
2 minutes research suggests you are right http://www.rockbrosbike.com/product-info.php?proid=2540Currently riding a Whyte T130C, X0 drivetrain, Magura Trail brakes converted to mixed wheel size (homebuilt wheels) with 140mm Fox 34 Rhythm and RP23 suspension. 12.2Kg.0 -
Well they have arrived! Definitely ti axles. Platform is of course small and I am not going to use them over more challenging terrain. But I'll give them a go for more leisurely rides.0
-
More new pedals, on test. 250g for the pair, ti axles.0
