Anyone managed a sub 28 lb. X5 for XC use/ racing?
My bike weighed in at 28.4 pounds on my digital scale with this build. I switched to lighter tubes and cut the seat tube down since then, so I bet its really close to, or at 28 now. I put a set of bigger tires and slime tubes on for a while, but the extra weight and slow roll of the tires was a bit much, so I went back to the lighter end of the spectrum.
Here is the build.
Medium X-5 with quad bearings-fox float w/ propedal
Fox vanilla fork
King headset
Thomson 90mm 5 degree stem
Easton EC70 Monkeylite xc bar
Odi lock on ruffian grips
Thomson Post
WTB Laser titanium rail seat
Avid Juicy Seven brakes
WTB Laserlite disc hubs/ DT Swiss xr 4.1d rims
Sram X9 triggers
XT Front der.
Sram X9 rear der.
04 XT Cranks
04 XT Cassette
Sram PC-99 chain
Schwalbe Little Albert tires
I think Im going to send the shock and fork off to Push when I get my bonus in april. With all the praise Push is getting, Im curious to see for myself the difference it makes.
