My new blinglespeed. I also got a gold tooth to match!

Weight?

 

[xjohnnyx]

Hmmm

Right around 24...any suggestions to lighten her up? I was thinking Stans Rims or Edge Rims.

Love the sexogrid. Nice bike.

I cant wait to get my RX.

24 lbs is fine for a 29er SS with sus fork...dont let the douchebags tell you otherwise that a few grams for another $500 will make a bit of a difference on the trail where it matters...however, if you are a MTBR spreadsheet of weights kinda guy then be my guest

What did you do with the rest of your Lotto winnings!

Nah, JK

Congrats on a beautiful bike

Maybe you need to find those dollar sign Hope rotors

 

[Jerk_Chicken]

Wow, that's sweet. The weight is strange, though. I would have figured it would have come in way lighter. At least 22 or something.

Very nice. It's too bad Magura made their gold totally different from all other bits on the market (King, Hope, I9, etc).

On the weight, I too am surprised. The bike pictured below is around 18 lbs (albeit with a rigid fork):

Maybe my scale is off! I was a lil surprised myself when it came in that heavy.

 

[stevereeneo]

Amen to FoShizzle's thoughts!

24 lbs is plenty light w/ a sus fork. My own personal philosophy on bike weight:
I will not ask for (a.k.a. spend $ on) additional weight loss on a bike that I haven't taken off the rider... so first I need to lose 1/2 a lb before I go dropping cash on the uber-lightweight widget of the day...

That is one VERY sharp lookin' ride... congrats!!!

Have a great new year folks.

exiwolf tires aren't know for being light weight, but they are know for being grippy and plush so you give some you take some. I would be happy with that weight myself and know that you could knock a few pounds off with some lighter tires and some eggbeaters without going to stupid light choices.

Otherwise dang nice bike!

 

[jmoote]

Possible areas to save weight on your build:
- lighter stem
- foam grips
- wheels (mostly rims)
- tires
- tubes or tubeless conversion
- pedals (the last thing I would switch, if you like SPD)

 

[Duzitall]

It's beautiful Johnny. I think your scale may be adding ~1lb. I would love to try that fork out. How do you like it?

 

[kbell]

Did you get that from Frank?

 

[pimpbot]

IIRC, Exorigid....

Wow, that's sweet. The weight is strange, though. I would have figured it would have come in way lighter. At least 22 or something.

... isn't that light. Alu or carbon frames are still a bunch lighter. The Exorigid ride, tho.. buttah! :thumbsup:

I would guess its probably not the frame that is adding an extra pound or two.

 

[juansevo]

Yeah do the EDGE Rims you won't be disappointed.

 

[simplton]

holy moses, man. that thing is sweet. love it.

cheers,
scott

ps - wouldn't feel bad about that weight either. this one's just a hair lighter... in carbon no less....

Very Nice bike,

The exiwolves seem a bit out of place on such a nice bike. The blingy bikes seem to like the schawlbe racing ralphs.

Exis seem heavy and not too good at anything. I'd switch the tires.
