I made a few changes to my morewood, still sitting around 40 pounds even.

 

[JewBagel]

@haromtnbiker
Dude, your rotors are on backwards.

 

[Huck Banzai]

update of my race rig...

Flip that rotor ASAP! (And the one in the back if its same) - seems HaroMtnBiker is not alone!

Death is possible, fail is imminent!

odd, but true.

 

[Blasterbates]

Sweet 9 yes.......

 

[02sedona]

Here is my 2008 Scott Gambler.

 

[Blasterbates]

well i finally got around to weighing mine. It weighs 17.9 kg which is 39.4lbs to be precise.

nicho

Sweet you got some spec on that wood for us.

 

[ROB_BMW]

I know this says 40 lbs but I see a couple rigs around the 42-43 pound mark, so check out this beast at 43lbs. 43 lbs is heavy these days for racing but not for a steel brooklyn beast double diamond warrior. Lets see somebody keep up with this 43 pounder at plattekill with your puny 38lbs boxer bike...lol...????

 

[Fool]

Hi Rob.

 

[bikerpunk98199]

You're just to funny.

 

[ROB_BMW]

Funny, accurate, demented, you make the call. I'm just used to finishing up at the chairlift first. Unless I'm riding with Doc or Geoff Ulmer. I'm also expecting to get alot more runs in with that rig while people are swapping wheels out in the parking lot..

 

[jonKranked]

43 is definitely respectable for a Racelink. Especially with a frame weighing, 13 lbs?



I've seen lighter tho

 

[ROB_BMW]

The frame is 13 lbs stock, you can save alot just by playing with the plastic bits and dozens of bolts, spacers etc. I still haven't used a ti axle, or spring yet. 42 by next year....?????

Ti spindle and spring alone would get you under 42.

If you could get your hands on one of the ti floating brake arms that Doc made once upon a time that'd be even more. But I doubt anyone that has one would be willing to part with it.

 

[Sandwich]

They had one last I checked. You could also get a carbon bar from brake therapy. I'd ditch the gustavs and get a newer (lighter) set of brakes.

Great, now you've got me looking for a racelink again.

 

[climbingbubba]

ok here is my jedi, i hope the pics work cause i don't know how to put an image in my reply but i will try for the first time

pepperjester just taught me how to insert an image, THANKS!!

 

[PepperJester]

fixed. Sick bike.

 

[ROB_BMW]

Wait a minute there's a pic of a pumpkin in there so this should be in the halloween pumpkin contest forum. lolololooollpoololo.

nice bikes....

 

[climbingbubba]

well didn't work so here it is

ok here is my jedi, it weighs 38.06 lbs. nothing on it that i wouldn't trust and nothing XC about it (except the seat maybe?). It is mainly used for FR/shuttle/resort days. im going to get into racing next year though.

2008 canfield jedi size L
2010 boxxer wc with twenty6 direct mount stem
2009 elka stage 5 with manitou 350# ti coil
atlas fr 165 x 83 cranks
canfield crampon pedals
mavic 823's laced to wtb superduty hubs
maxxis minion DHF front and rear tubeless
2009 avid codes 8" rotors
mrp g2 guide
deity dirty 30 bars
thomson seatpost
sunline v1 ti saddle
xt rear cassette
sram x9 shifter
sram x9 short cage rear der
odi lock rogue grips
hope seatpost collar

sad thing is it could be lighter and still be burly. could do avid elixir cr's, UST minions, and a road cassette and drop another 1 - 1.5 lbs. don't feel it really needs to be lighter though. i do like how the elixirs feel better though so maybe down the line.

 

[climbingbubba]

fixed. Sick bike.

thanks!! could you pm me how to put an image in? you think i would know by now

Nicho

 

[MrPlow]

How tall are you Nicho?

 

[ozzemale]

I'm 6 foot. Why ?

 

[MrPlow]

I'm 6 foot. Why ?

just thought the seat looked rather high thats all. carry on. Nice bike!

 

[ozzemale]

Well you have a point but the bike sags around %45 percent (and i don't clip rocks) with a static bb of 13.9" as you see it. I get into a really nice position when riding/racing and balance over my suspension is prime.

Being the bos distributor in Australia and being a self confessed Vouilloz and olivier bossard fan, i go along their theories and set up tips.

It's done nothing but good for my riding and my bike set up.

nicho

 

[chillindrdude]

just a tad over 36lbs...

 

[Sandwich]

Nice stem !

 

[Patan-DH]

i like the middleburns, what lenght are those?

 

[demo 9]

40 and decimals (now saint brakes and ordered canfield pedals)

43.1 little heavy but for the mammoth of a frame, think it can still play in here.

42.2

 

[frango]

Nice collection of sweet bikes!

how the hell did you get to 43lbs with a 13 lb frame? my banshee scream is a 14ish lb frame and i couldnt get it past 46 lbs. super t, alum cranks, single ply tires and ti rear coil

My Racelink was under 41 from memory. If you search, you'll find it somewhere on here, maybe this thread, maybe the BMW porn thread.
It had a ti brake arm and 40s I think, could have been lighter still.
I still have the Ti brake arm, if you want to buy it PM me, I'm in Australia though, don't think shipping would be much, weighs sweet F A.

 

[chillindrdude]

i like the middleburns, what lenght are those?

they're 170mm. weight wise, i'm pretty sure the Middleburn/FSA bb is less than Saint/BB combo

 

[IH8Rice]

they're 170mm. weight wise, i'm pretty sure the Middleburn/FSA bb is less than Saint/BB combo

it is, but its still a ISIS system

 

[chillindrdude]

i've yet to have issues with the smaller bearings of the ISIS bottom brackets. as long my crankarm bolts are torqued to spec, i very seldom have them loosen. nor do i have the ability to generate crazy amounts of power to notice any flex in the spindle. on my former 4x bike, the BB was low and i would bash my pedals and crankarms with some regularity, i've never broken a spindle or noticed any creaking. ISIS has worked well for me, so i'll keep using it until it blows up and then upgrade to outboard bearing cranksets.
