a junior with a stump thompson is under 9oz dudeIt is NOT lighter than a cut macnail pivotal post with an SL saddle. I know too. I had both.
Hmm. I thought it was closer to 11oz. I will take your word for it.oster_oops:a junior with a stump thompson is under 9oz dude
i have to agree with you on the 11oz thing. the odyssey junior seat is 6.5 oz so that means the thomson would have to be under 2.5 oz. thats about 70 grams. they are listed at 188 grams for a 25.4 at 200mm and 256 grams at 330mm. sooooo.... if i did my math right that would put it at 120 grams for a 70mm (slammed one) or 4.23 oz for a grand total 10.73 oz with the seat.Hmm. I thought it was closer to 11oz. I will take your word for it.oster_oops:
yep yep, i agree! good site bro.pesling, i dig your site ride lite, you should post some stuff over here too.
throw an f80x on the front with a madera pilot hub (7oz) or one of the new fly front hubs or something.
a chopped to hell, and drilled thompson doesnt weigh much over 2oz i don't think...
QUOTE]
he said earlier in the posts that he won't change the bars or fork. he already cracked a revelation so a f80x would be a step in a weaker direction.
if he did though a ns simple front hub only weights 5.96 oz. thats whats going on my new build
and his seatpost is about 4 oz with it chopped and ti bolts according to his scale (assuming the 6.5oz junior seat is accurate) cause he said the total was about 10.5 oz
im in no way trying to be rude in correcting you either. the other ideas were good
yeah 169 grams. but it doesn't have disc mounts or anything. i think its either 9mm or 10mm hollow axle. they look clean too. im buying mine when i finally drop the money on my NS capital frame. i have a revelation dual air waiting to go on a bikeword, my error then. you can cut the post obscenely short though haha.
the NS is 5.9? jesus
I think you took way to much time to wright that. But I deffinatly get your point. I think over time people ate going to go the more durable rought then the lighter one and hate on the weight wennies. but all the trends from bmx stem over to mtb so who knows... maybe we will be riding plastic frames in a few yearsrolly shmoley. looks like a fun bike.
Another case of lighter starting fire. (That headline is getting old news.)
...at least it's rather mild here, compared to similar discussion elsewhere regarding weight loss. American thing... underlying theme on rejecting weight-loss, haha.
I'll predict... probably quick on the draw... but, this may possibly mark a beginning stage in giant shift in current cycling trend, repeating history, rejecting lightweight... I already taste it, I might have to get another Standard STA! 48 spokes?! C'mon, with current technology we can probably fit 72... no wait, 128 spokes! Shoot for the moon! Hell, why not some solid billet wheels even. And done tubeless right, Solid rubber!
I'm even going to weld some Craftsman wrenches to the bottom of my chainstays for grind guards, tonight.
I'm seriously done with bolt-on catalog parts. No more bolts. Weld everything. Weld my stem to my steerer, and my bars to my stem. Hot-rod for life.
That's my problem - the warrenty. But it only saves under 5g, lower are just magnesium...but really cut those brake mounts off, unless you are worried about warrenty in which case you will probly void it
I just made one of these at work yesterday, except mine weights .08lbs and is made of alum/tiSatori is hilarious. You should post more often.
Yo, P, you could use one of these to compress your stem/headset before tightening and then take it off. Then you wouldn't have to use a topcap or a star nut. Or, you could just remove the top cap after tightening...

Is it really necessary to compromise your handling/comfort on grips? Since when are a certain pair of grips too heavy? Is this bike really still too heavy?Get foam grips.
Quoting my own post. Hey man Im sorry. I envy your bike so much. I was a little upset due to the fact that I broke my dirt jumper and then reading your thread just set me off. I love the pike/revelation, that is a work of art.Seriously get a life. You have a sick ass bike that is light as all get out. Shave the brake mounts, lose the top cap and get the 140 rotor and shut up.
