Somebody has to ask.Did you weigh it yet?
My new Trek Session is here!
- Thread starter Konabumm
- Start date
no weight yet, I'm waiting till my carbon cranks and chain guide come it
It is funny that you mention stuffed spiderman and posing in one sentence. In a sport where the equipment gets dirty IMO nothing says more "I am posing" than having a clean plush bar buddy.
Couldnt agree more...bike looks sick! I personally think the Crank Bros wheels are awesome as well. If I were you id go for a SDG iFly Saddle. They make black/red/white combo ones and i think the iBeam makes the bike look cleaner than traditional saddle rails. And faster too =)
I'm thinking about getting a SDG Falcon Ti-Alloy - weight is 250 grams. Could be lighter but it does look good.
Sharp looking bike. As for a saddle, I'm quite pleased with my Chromag Moon DT
At 255 grams, its no lightweight, but your bike probably already weighs close to 45 lbs thanks to Spidey

Where did you order yours from?
I was sponsored by them last year - so direct
So you had to pay full retail, right?
well damn... i can only find them for elixir r's
I'm pretty sure they share the same lever blades. I'm not 100% sure though.
I never want to have to bleed my brakes just to mount them on the bike.
You don't have to bleed them. You don't swap the entire lever, only the lever blade.
The elixir R doesn't have the external trigger adjustment. I think the CR lever is designed different because of this.... but i could be completely wrong.
i think he's talking about running the hoses and cables inside the frame
Sick build bro! I love everything about it. I understand the Spidey thing. I wish my kids invested more energy into my racing than the usual "uhh, you're going racing AGAIN?"
You're right, my bad... I read it as a response to the lever thing..
you don't have to run the cables through the frame, there are cable guide attachments as well. I just think it's much cleaner with everything running through the frame.
So how does spiderman's bike ride?
I won't even take my top crown off or loosen a single shock bolt in the name of cleaner routing.
Ripping a brake in a crash and busting a set of cutters and allen key in time for a race run has happened so many times to me.
The Original Split Pivot
I had my first ride on my new Session 9.9. Thanks to Santiago and a Culture of Speed for one of the first. The build is typical DH and came in at 34.0 pounds. Coming off a 2011 Demo, 2010 951, 2009 m6, I didn't expect to be overwhelmed, but seriously, this bike is fast. Suspension, balance, light, lively, fun, pedaling with ease, and a magical ability to rocket out of corners. I would post a picture or two, but after the comments on the previous 9.9, I think I'll avoid the Ridemonkey scrutiny.
Come on now Princess. No need to be shy. Put up or shut up.
I still haven't weighed mine yet, the final parts come in this week. I'm hoping for 31.3lbs and maybe 31.2lbs if I take spidy off ;0)
fairly ambitious with the 40 and RC4 no?
I'd be supried too. My legend is at it's best 36.1lbs. Session 9.9 frame is 2.5lb lighter than mine so 33.5 but I have a boxxxer wc with avy and a chunked stemcrown so that's 1 lb less in front. ~31 is achievable but very hard with a fox.
you guys may be right.
you are making things up again
Yeah. Avalanchd boxxers work soo crap
oh rlly,im quite sure the air assisted sprung 40 is known as the trek drcv 40 that is only equiped on the session 9.9.
time to pull out my manual to get specs on the special fork.
his boxxer is avy equipped ???
