thanks for the info...if i can shave off a pound with; ti spring, acid 2 pedals, dt spokes/nipples and mavic rims...i'll be stoked.I just weighed a 3" 350 steel & Ti spring, the steel was 548g, the Ti was 358g.
200g isn't a bad saving

your turning into the new bullcrewWTB Laser Disc FR rims
DT 440's
DT straight gauge spokes/brass nipples
2.5 DHF 60
2.35 DHR 60 1 ply foldable
but i'm running mavics and dt rev spokes with alloy nipples once they get here.
i have three sets of wheels for different tire set ups i run a 2.5 front and rear, 2.5 front /2.35 rear and a 2.35 front and rear. my deemaxs run a 2.4 set up...keep in mind that i'm only 135 lbs and i run really light tires and set up...this might not be ideal for a heavier rider. my 2.5 front and 2.35 rear set up is at 36 lbs.
Zing!Do you just weigh your bike, or do you actually ride it? Hmmm, season pass to Whistler or 5th set of wheels that are 10 grams lighter than the 4th.
I am giving them a try this year as well. Its worth a shot. They are stronger and cheaper than TI spokes, which I see my roommate building for all his bikes. (Side note: he just builds expensive bikes, gets custom paint, and custom helmets, he doesnt ride them or use them enough to notice the benefit of lightness)Revolution spokes + DH = no way jose
I don't care what you weigh.
Sweet bike though
Not really sure if I am doing any. I was actually really close to doing my first moto endurance race this weekend, but was talked out of it. It is a National and everyone said it would be no fun for a first-timer.Zing!
I just don't understand. If either of us lived in a place with 3 ft of snow, we'd use the money to fly somewhere more conducive to riding, and enjoy some quality shreddage.
Australia, New Zealand, Chile, Argentina, South Africa, Costa Rica, or even Bootleg in Las Vegas or somewhere in SoCal would pay off more in terms of faster race times in the summer. And riding is fun. Oh wait, I'm truing a wheel right now so I can meet a buddy on the trail in 30 minutes....
Low latitudinal locales rock! Are you doing any of the Fontucky Winter Series?
That would be it. I'm thinking about riding my 950 out there tomorrow morning to check it out. Not sure right now though. It's raining here, which means there could be snow driving over the Cajon pass. I went to Mammoth a couple weeks ago and it took my friend and myself 3 hrs to go up it because CHP was doing escorts.D37 Lucerne? Was also close to getting talked into that one for my first race and heard the same.
2.35 rear maxxis dhr and 2.5 fronts maxxis dhf (scale pic)...am i the only one that likes this tire combo? lol...i could have weighed the bike without fluids in itHey, if those tyres are singleply and/or 2.35, you cheated on the weight... cause it's not really a DH bike anymore.
A 2.35 1 ply rear is extreme...if anything I would run a larger 1 ply in the front. However, I wouldn't do that either.2 ply front (2.5) and 1 ply rear (2.35) ...if i run 2.35's minions frt and rear the bike sits sub 35 lbs...but thats going a bit too extreme.
