40lb post! DH/FR Rigs around the 40lb mark! tips, pics, specs
- Thread starter bullcrew
- Start date
you sure its demo 8s? im pretty sure it only applies to demo 9's cause the rear spacing is 150 with a 73mm bb shell
My 2006 Sunday Elite, Im pretty sure it weighs around 40 somethin lbs. ( thanx cbj haha )
Im upgrading it to sram xo and mavic tubless rims pretty soon.

Nope, but it has a 57mm chainline. So you use a 73x128mm BB.
erm..
wheels?
these are cx rays on 819's with ti hubs, tubeless
atlas are pretty light
ti rails on the saddle. my bar and stem combo doesnt get much lighter.
its also a small frame
Ahh you got me.
Seriously, I was hoping the Topeak scale was a P.O.S. and it was actually lighter.
I have XO, 823 tubeless and tubeless Maxxis, DHX and ti spring and the lighter US build frame kit and mine is 41-42 lbs. I have profile cranks with ti spindle but you have the heavy Race Face cranks with are at least the same weight.My 2006 Sunday Elite, Im pretty sure it weighs around 39 lbs.
Im upgrading it to sram xo and mavic tubless rims pretty soon.
I don't know why there are is so many claiming lower weight of their bikes at the moment here on Ridemonkey (Strickland nothing personal aimed at you). Don't get me wrong a light bike is nice but unless you down to maybe top 10 in pro what wins the race is the ability of the rider not 1 lbs lighter bike.
at the least its 41 im thinking 42 lbsMy 2006 Sunday Elite, Im pretty sure it weighs around 39 lbs.

I never said I was positive it was 39 lbs.
regardless its still a tight a$$ bike
OK, I don't have a scale, but here are the spec's. I probably get to the vet's office right around the corner to get it on their scale to see for sure. However, anyone want to guess?

52.3lbs
ya think? It actually feels lighter that my 03' IH SGS Expert, and she's in at 45ish...
That is a sick shockwave. I still love those frames. My friend has one w/ a 888. Everything else is lighter though and his weighs 43 or so lbs. I would say 47lbs.
yea im gonna say 46 or 47, mine is about 42.3, but with a lot of stuff lighter, including your bombproof wheels
I bought it from the dude in your sig.....I figure the reason why he didn't like it much was because it was FAR to burly for him. Hell, I'm about 60-65 lbs heavier than he is and its just right for me.
Yeah, I do have to say I do like the rims and the wheel set, especially with my plow right through it riding style. The other thing that I found hugely interesting is the fact I can hit or get myself into some trouble and have come away unscathed...I'm blown away at the stuff I get through or survive.....I figure 47 lbs is a good guess. The spec's I got from the original add of the guy who built the bike up.
She's heavy though....
yea, they are super burly frames, but at the same time can be built super light, i like mine a lot, i guess im just ready for a change soon
Did you ever get teh tm88?
yep, i got it, but i still havent actually put it in the fork, ive rubbed it on my stanctions several times though, thanks a bunch
I would have to agree, but I must add that if you are going to try and take weight off a bike then your no.1 target should be the wheels. They REALLY do make a difference.
I have a lighter bike with a lot of the weight in the wheels/tires/tubes and it feels like a turd. At the same time on my SX Trail the wheels are much lighter, as well as lightweight tires with XC tubes and the difference is unbelievable. Even though the bike as a whole is heavier, the SXT accelerates like a freakin' rocket compared to the other bike (which is even a hard tail).
I agrea, I have one wheelset (I9's) that have tubless kendas work flawless and I have hammered the HE!! outa them, then when bootleg or really gnarly stuff come up I have another set of wheels (I9's) that have a 2.7 front 2.5 rear dh casings with med duty tubes and there is a HUGE difference between the bikes response and handling between the 2. I'll ride lighter as much as possible, its more manueverable and handles better (alot more alive).
Here is the new frame... With my current build and a few other things, I'm hoping to get the weight down despite the fact that my new frame is steel.
Isnt that the $300 steel frame?Here is the new frame... With my current build and a few other things, I'm hoping to get the weight down despite the fact that my new frame is steel.
Thats nice. Cant wait to see the build and look.
Why yes it is. It's not in my possession yet. Still being finished, but it should be really good. I'm hoping to have it running real solid. It has a super short wheel base with a nice long TT, so it should be running really well. I'm really excited, but it might be another week or two.
Let me know, Id be intrested in 1.
I might be setting up some distribution with them, so when I get it in, I will write you up a review and you might be able to contact me when more interest. When I write it up, just holla at me.
i want steel frame real bad
Steel just feels better, my 07 SWD 216 DH w/ 08 Fox dhx 5, she is right around 41lbs.
Yep and it needs to be rotated too... instructions?bent steel
your chain device is set up wrong, the chain should pass through the top guide.
It was just thrown together at the time, the guide was not tight or adjusted.

I also need some suggestions for a new fork if anyone has any opinions. Im looking to go DC with a price somewhere in the 300-400 dollar range. Itll probably be used for about half racing and half freeriding.
Thanks

Actually this is the around 40 thread. Check the title holmes.
I'm rocking a 7 in boxxer race on my session 7. Balances the bike out perfectly, and feels fantastic.'05 Session 77. Weighs 42.8 lbs w/ Sherman Breakout Plus (soon to be replaced), Swinger 4-way, Mavic 729 with Chris King hub...etc....
