Spectacular build! With drier-weather tires and different pedals looks like you could take it down to plus/minus 25 lbs? That's pretty sick... (point of info: Spesh site says those tires are 2.3 even)

Ha..thanks and yes they are 2.30. Copied and pasted this in from a earlier post when I thought I'd be using the DHR/DHRII combination. Changed the name, not the tire width.

I typically run the Maaxis Ikon 2.35 in the summer. Have to say the Slaughter is nice tire. Rolls fast with nice cornering knobs. Not light but not excessively heavy either. Front tires: DHF/DHRII/Butcher....damn they just work great on the front.

Based on different tire combinations I might use and pedals, I figure the weight of the bike will range between 26 and 27.5. Pretty amazing how friggin' light a six inch travel FS bike can be.

Now to ride the darn thing. Woke up to snow flurries and now rain this morning. With wife and daughter support, I finally stopped crying and throwing things. They suggested spending time setting sag and burning in the pads when the weather cleared. Sniffle, sniffle....okaaay I'll do that instead.

So how'd you end up routing the reverb while you wait? Just run the cable minus plate? I'm gonna be in the same boat.

Hacked a hole in the plate big enough to fit the hose with a drill bit and file. Good enough for now but not a pretty long term solution. The plates don't drill out easy...brittle. My cable routing is a bit of a mess right now but it's functional. Ibis told me the plates for hydraulic lines will be available by end of Jan. early Feb. I'll go back an fix the routing and tidy up cable length once I get those.

Question for you folks: With the HD3, can the reverb routing go up the downtube and OUT the right side of the headtube port. I'm not sure if the inside of the downtube is completely hollow. Not so LBS routed it for right size install and I like it installed on left side under the bar. So I'll want to shift the routing from exiting on the left side to the right side in the future. Thanks and sorry if this is a stupid question...it's my first bike with internal routing.

I have XX1, so only one shifter. Hope these pics help.

Here are two lower ports used for stealth cable routing. The holes in these plates need to be enlarged. The ST plate actually cracked. Good enough for now but will have to be replaced.

Upper left HT port. Had to be enlarged. This is where my stealth was routed for a right hand switch mount. Eventually I will want to mount my rear derailleur cable through here. It's now on the other side (see below)

Upper right side port. Right now routing shifter cable here. This will need to be changed to the other side. Assuming the downtube is hollow, and I'm able to route cable/hoses to either HT port, should be as simple as switching plates (as one is already bored out).

The tire lasted a week or you cd only stand riding it for that long? They handled everything Sun Valley and Stanley threw at em (including Fisher Creek, plenty o cornering!) but I've gone with RaRa now that I've got the 41s...

Tried the Ikon and it lasted about a week. Similar rolling to the Spec Slaughter and Rock Razor, but no cornering traction at all.

Luv the ikon in the rear, for winter in Santa Cruz running the xr4 front and back... April will likely switch back to the ikon out back.

As for the stealth routing, why are so many people using the exit ports? Can u run it totally stealth? I believe the demo bike I had was completely stealth.

Lmk, my bike is arrived but I'm away.

Ha...your boyz have pictures showing they know their stuff. You're well taken care of. See post 524 at this thread. These pics answered a few of my questions.

Min'es gonna look pretty similar to that one...kinda leaning toward keeping the grey Pike decals though, the blue decals look maybe a bit more turquoise. I'm also on the fence about using my blue kings or black. Pretty sad stressors I know...

It's possible, but a major PIA. I gave up trying and just routed mine through the ports.

Good for you all. I've had my bike built since Friday and haven't been able to ride it on dirt yet. Next three days look horrible, too. Then I leave for vacation for a week. If I didn't LOL, I'd cry.

Since I have nothing better to do I put on lighter pedals and installed a 30t spiderless chainring. Weight now an even 26.5lbs. For the weight weenies out there, that's a staggering 7oz reduction. That equates to one additional pedal stroke of forward progress before the point where I normally fail on that "one climb".
