looks awesome, i dunno how it weighs 24lbs though

[Carbon]

Thats what the scale in the bike shop says. :dunno:

[Rodmunch]

How do you like those bars?

[bklmrkt91]

i think the discs contribute a lot to the 24 lbs. but w/e that bike looks super fun

[WhiteRavenKS]

24 pounds is a tank these days?

[Stikman]

I guess if you're 14, yeah?

[chronic]

Nice Goooo!

Stikman, boo.

[Carbon]

That bar feels great. You have to make sure you have them positioned in the right spot though. When i put them on my old mod I had them abit more forward, and when I did a big up it kinda pinches nerves in your hand. So i adjusted and its all good.

The disc's might add an extra pound or so, but the weight of the frame is more than a Simtra so i'm sure that is where its coming from.

I dont think 24lbs is a tank. It's just that a lot bikes posted on here are around the 20lb mark, and mods are usually lighter than mine.

how is the friction in those jagwire housings? I thought about going for them...

Those are not the jagwire housing, are they? they look like the avid/sram housing.

I run the jagwire housing, the teflon coated cable ones, and they are great for what you pay for. I run v on the back, and have found that, unless you go for nokon or jagwire, all the other housing are too flexy. Jagwire is perfect, just the the housing is stiff to the max!

The teflon coated ones = uber smooothhh, but once the teflon wear out, which'll take about half year to a year, then it feel "normal".

The Jagwire housing is awesome. It's the compressionless stuff. I think a kit is around $30 bucks. Definately worth it.

Sounds about right, possibly a little bit on the light side...

Bike looks sweet though!

[Eisbein]

thanks guys. I use Odessey linear slics. cost 8€. Better then felix' mückes nokons ;)
so pretty good stuff i think. maybe i take only such a jagwire cable.

Where are you at in Devon?

Quite a few of us ride in Plymouth.

Rig looks good!

Where are you at in Devon?
Check the brakes :h5: I'm guessing its Devon... somewhere across the Atlantic?

[madbiker66]

Good thinking honkey

[KERNAL KLINK]

you bike looks really nice, lol'd at the motorcycle in the livingroom

[justtysen]

i think the discs contribute a lot to the 24 lbs.
BB7 calipers are significantly heavier than hydraulic calipers.

I use Odyssey linear slics and don't particularly like them. If I squeeze the levers really hard with two fingers the housing seems to compress for a while and takes a few seconds to return to normal. Also some of the inner wires have ruptured through the lining. Cheap wound housing seems to have worked better.
