Yeh, I'm bringing my old Bettys, since I'll probobly rip the sidewalls on Hellrajd... 3rd year in a row for me.
I'll be up there for Mayhem and the week before :).
Cheers
Hehe, the nobby's are just a test. Which is a part of my little project: Save weight without expensive ti/carbon stuff.
I'm going to test the Nobby Nic's in Åre (Sweden's mini whistler) in a couple of weeks.
If they don't hold up I'm going ghetto tubeless with Highroller LUST 2.35
Thanks guys
Nice man! Which tires?
The Nobby Nics are holding up fine, so far. My only worries is the sidewalls, which are thicker on the Big Betty. You'll be fine on them if you don't rip rockgardens thinking you have 4plys ;).
Thanks guys.
Oh mikeyboy, 4-Ply. Makes sense now. Do you really need em'?
I'm thinking of going sub 16kg (~35.3). With some new tires (Maxxis 2.35 Single ply), Ti spring, Custom lighter backplate and Odyssey Twisted Plastic pedals.
Strange. I find it perfect. Got some riding done today. Wouldn't hurt if it where lighter...
My scale was tuned by TheMontashu....
On a serious note: I run sub 200g tubes and sub 900g tires...
Thanks guys.
Might be going towards 35lbs with Ti spring and XT cranks.
A saw for the unnecessary material, then a grinder to shape it up, and cut the padding with a sharp knife and smoothen it with a file.
Den är min!
Haha cheers SteezyWeezy.
The backplate is at full rotation. It's going to be switch.
And the lower roller need some custom grinding to fit.
Yes, I did the saddle myself.
