The Manatou has less coils so it might be slightly lighter.
what'd it cost you. or rather what would it cost if u weren't sponsored?I did every bolt on the bike except for the pivot bolts. (I did pivot nuts though) It ended up saving a hair over 100g, or roughly 1/4lb off the total weight of the bike. Honestly, I won't be doing it again next yearI tend to run the same brand/model parts each season, so I figured the hardware could be tranferred for year to year.
Roughly $180 USD. You can check out www.tekbolt.com for their prices and bolt sizes.
top shelf, all the way!
dude get some fr 2350 instead of the i9! that would be hot! except the i9 would save you 200 grams
jenson usa has the fr 2350 for cheap for the front 20mm and the rear 12 by 150

Sparky rides for me. We are sponsored by I9. The DT's are real nice wheels though. (and the R9 is 12x135)
Red grips? Apply for an ODI sponsorship. Simple, and a real nice pricing.
From Odi...
I've had Avid 7's for two seasons, but the Code's feel even better to me. We're racing dh not xc you damn weight weenie 
Ive never seen them. I guess Ill climb back into my hole now.
I'm not your b****! :-D
I'm more into the I9's on EX721's than the 2350 wheelset. Nice looking wheels, but I'm already 8 dents into my 6.1D's, and I really don't like relacing wheels every weekend. I just picked this current wheelset up for the 440 hubs, and as soon as I total the 6.1's I'm lacing them to 729's for my mount snow wheels.
Absolutely Rocking!
looks good and all, but are you guys going to get some decent jerseys this year? can't be sporting those low rent threads from last year with a sweet looking bike like that. 
yeah, i didnt think they were colored grips when i ordered them, i thought they came with red lock jaws! just apply for their sponsorship and you can get them.
Mickey will have to answer that one! I've been going to modeling school, so I should be able to pull off just about anything. However, the word "skinsuits" did slip out of his mouth....looks good and all, but are you guys going to get some decent jerseys this year? can't be sporting those low rent threads from last year with a sweet looking bike like that.

if that's the case, then it's probably not the only thing slipping in and out of his mouth lately
Lawlz.if that's the case, then it's probably not the only thing slipping in and out of his mouth lately
Actually yes, we do have better gear on tap. Skinsuits for everyone.
sexiest bike, ever, period, case closed.
You sir, have a very nice bike. 
I don't really think I would change a thing on it. Welllllll, maybe a double barrel!
