    How much weight reduction can you actually feel?

    as said, wheels are the most important. A general rule is any moving weight is going to be more noticeable than weight that doesn't move.

    Where to begin with upgrades.

    It is much cheaper to buy a whole new bike then to replace everything on your bike, plus you would get a new frame with it. As said, learn what you can off the bike, how to ride and how to maintain it. Its better to learn how the do's and don't's maintenance now rather than when you have a...

    Bike Build Input needed!!

    it does look kinda squishy, (the way the suspension linkage is set up.) As for fork, if your going for a racing bike maybe look at the new R7, I've loved my skareb and the R7 is suppose to be a lighter, stiffer, smoother skareb.

    Feedback on Stan's tubeless system!!

    i've been running specialized fast traks with stans with some mixed feedback. I put a cut in the sidewall about 1 cm long, which flatted the tired in minutes, I run it with a tube on my non racebike now. The big thing is its a bit more work then a tube setup, but I completed my race season...

    Resale on road bikes?
