Hello WW's. Iv'e lurked on this forum for a while now and posted my bike here and there but figured i might as well start a thread of my own. I wouldn't call my self a "weight weenie," i would say I'm more weight conservative. Every part on this bike has had at least three others before it, in other words, i like to try new parts a lot :thumbsup: The lightest ive had this bike is 19.4 which was last year, but i was running a completely different spec then, and the heaviest at 24lbs which i keep it at when i train.

When i race i take the gravity dropper off, switch to racing ralphs, run tubeless and sometimes mess around with gearing. I also just ordered an mmx wheelset for races with this setup i should be at around 21.3ish. This bike gets ridden 3-4 times a week.. every week.. this is no show bike and yes i know its dirty Comments, questions and opinions are all welcome...

Love the Supra...oh and the bike too.

 

[jordanrosenbach3]

haha thanks, its a great car, i just got it, it reminds me of the "back to the future" car haha

Nice ride you got there. My next build is going to be a TallBoy and I'm shooting for sub 19lbs. If I go 1x10 and Carbon Lefty I could possibly get below 18lbs but it will take some CASH.

 

[Diesel~]

How do you like the brakes?

-D

 

[jordanrosenbach3]

I love em. They have excellent power and pretty good modulation. i love the feel of the servo wave lever, its a real on/off feeling. they have excellent adjustability and are very predicatble

 

[seppk]

Wow! looks like an incredibly capable but still lightweight bike! Well thought out!

 

[jordanrosenbach3]

thanks, i cant wait to see how it rides with the lighter wheels

 

[Feideaux]

Mattkock (boy is that a fitting handle) from reading your sig I nominate you "tool of the month" on MTBR

That bike looks like a ton of fun.
I'd love to build something similar next year.

I must admit though... the cable routing leaves alot to be desired.

 

[jordanrosenbach3]

haha yea, i just got that gravity dropper and just threw it on so i could ride. Ill re-route it above the shock when i get the time, and ill also trim my brake hoses

 

[bmxconvert]

I wouldn't stress it too much. You're clearly getting out and riding it and that's more important.
I personally am extremely anal about my cable routing and tend to obsess over it far too much.
