The TI kingheadsets are heavier you know!
Yeah 12g's arent going to kill me besides I have a Hopey damper so the extra strength is necessary in that area. Besides nothing says "because I can" quite like TI
EDIT: My bad 4 grams more not 12.
what headset you got in now?
Here is my SUNDAY weighing in at 42.9 pounds.I am swapping out guide for lg-1,rear shock to roco,and maybe bars.I do want to reweigh on a differant scale.I was trying to build this bike for 3000.00 and missed that by 200.00. Still not bad for a dh bike.

by the way a different pair of cranks would drop a ton of weight.
King aluminum red
Site says 98g aluminum 102g ti
Either way with a hopey damper its worth it for the headtube.
A little bit off 40lbs, bathroom scale says between 42-43lbs

There is no way that will be 32 pounds, NOT FVCKING WAY. LUCKY if its 35, throw a DHX air, Ibeam post and Ifly saddle, egg beater dual Tis, e13 ali stem, monkey light DH bars, Dura ace Cassette, and some formulas. Also sapim bladed spokes and alloy nipples will help. Oh and middleburns and you MIGHT get 32 range
Not a chance in hell it will be anywhere near 32lbs. You must mean canadian pounds, with a 25% exchange rate.
I'm hoping to get around 40 pounds with this build.

haha thats what i got adding everything up with listed site weights
wow, i would really like to see that orange, 32lbs or not....
finally got my bike sub 40lbs. its 39.6, not properly sub 40 tho. not that i can be bothered anymore. what i found interesting was that dual ply with 1.95 tubes is the same weight as michelin dh tires tubeless.

I'm trimming the fat on my '06 Morewood Izimu (as well as myself) and just dropped .8 pounds going to a Manitou Ti Spring. Other immediate savings were .3 pounds going with an LG1, and .2 pounds going to a 105SS rear derailluer. Once I get my new wheels built, I'll toss up a pic of the bike on the scale.
Should be 39-40 pounds...and well built.

Nah, the thread title says DH/FR bikes... you might have to take those 700c's off? :biggrin:Haha, 32lbs. Your funny.
My bike will finally be in this thread very soon
you know somethings wrong when TheMontashu is telling you you cant get it that light.
ive added up some weights very carefully, and for bikes that are heavier than 10 pounds with shock the parts dont exist or are crazy expensive to shave that much weight.
say a 224 with a decent build is 35 pounds, saving another 3 pounds isnt gonna happen unless you put on.
eastern ti cranks
carbon road seatpost
carbon bar and syntace stem
ti cassette
rock hard carbon seat
light ass tires and 500g rims
but then you dont have a downhill bike anymore you have an xc bike on a downhill frame and fork.
Ill have my 38lb morewood shova lt posted up tommorw.
very true, 32 is hard to accomplish. it might be possible with the new socom, but still stupid expensive...
lthumbsdown: ill hopefully have my 9.5 on here soon round 41 or 42
I got my other set of I-9 wheels today nad built them up for DH casing set up. AAAAGGH! They are heavy, 4lbs more to be exact. so I have my single ply tubeless for most stuff and now my tubed kenda DH dual wire for places like Bootleg (this weekend ).
).
well i got my sunday to 40.1!! have a gmaut and ti spring on order, hopefully ill be at 38.8ish and yea im rockin the singly ply
Yeah single ply and I am 39.6 and with the other wheelset add 4lbs.
Thats OK atleast this way I can swap straight accross instead of spoke replacement and swapping tires.

PICS!
less talky more bikey!
Maybe i'm just biased/jelious because i don't have enough money to be a good weight winnie, but it seems like you would get faster spending your money on trips or going to more races than getting your bike down a pound or two. I'm not saying light bikes are bad or anything but at some point it just seems silly.
yea i will once those things are one, everyone has been completely out of 350lb springs forever, and i will post them pics once the gamut/ti spring is one. and im not a wiehgt weenie, i just like pimpin my bike out. i run single ply simply cuz ive gotten away with it sucessfully, just run higher PSI
I did beacon 4 weeks ago, boise last weekend, bootleg saturday and sunday , beacon the following weekend and then boise again and possibly moscow mtn if I squeeze it in. Plus we ride atleast 2-3 times a week from railing down the hill to urban and devils slide and the drops out there as well.
We get plenty of riding in and I dont really get all sore if I scratch or smash my stuff! I have 2 of almost everything for that reason to eliminate down time including another front triangle and links for my Canfield F1.
It is a weight weenie thread. I understand your frustration with it though, but it is a good forum to get ideas on items that not only come up shy on the scale but last well.
If you come up with some stuff we'd be glad to read it as well.
Keep on bikin.
WEIGHT WEENIE!!!!
I run ti springs because the spring better!
I run single ply because Its more durable than 2 ply.
Just messin with ya!
Ti retains its memory better and its lighter, single plys (tubeless) shed atleast 2 lbs and have alot less roatational mass etc.. So its bonus on the light weight front.
