i respect the tire choice. A lot of people go with 1.9" (48C) tires to bring the over all weight down even more and make claims of lightest bike on the market.

[@TwistedWheels]

I have 2” furious fred tyres that weigh 360g - these would have taken the weight below 9 kg 🤣

amazing the amount of work and research that went into this project and all your projects for that matter, It would be a cool to have cost brake down along with this process, but that maye be non of our business LOL just stripping the frame and clearing coating has got to be a huge labor undertaking costing big bucks I bet. anyways love your stuff thanks for sharing, hope you get to quit your day job 😁

[@moritzorama]

I like your build (once again) a lot, especially the clear coat design of the frame! If you don't mind, I'd had some questions about some of your chosen parts: 1. Which bottom bracket (manufacturer) did you choose? 2. is it possible to buy carbon plate from bjorn cycle separately to tune the Fox transfer or did you use one from a seatpost? 3. Can you tell me which after market clamps and bolts you've used? Would appreciate a reply!

[@TwistedWheels]

Thanks :) 1. I am using Raceface double seal 2. Unfortunately, no 3. They came one of the no-name chinese seatposts. You can use any with the round section

Trickstuff в свободной продаже на R2 и Bike-Components. Родная ось 30 грамм без рычага сьемного, а Extralite выкручивать неудобно, шестигран с другой стороны упирается в переклюк. Нитки Berd не держат натяжение, сколько не тяни. Седло классное, но как грязь из сетки выковыривать? С проводкой очень много работы, но проще и легче беспроводные LeapBlips )

Maybe add some tassels to compensate for the hidden cables? Speaking of adding, as nobody is asking.... What did all the pieces add up to? The scale did an easy job with the weights, but what came your wife up with, adding all the bills?

Say goodbye to being able to produce offspring with that carbon saddle. Might as well be on a 2x4🤣🤣🤣

[@TwistedWheels]

Yeah, why? Have you tried it? I’ve been riding Bjorn Setka saddle for more than year on my gravel and it’s the most comfortable saddle I’ve tried.

[@nhguapo]

Nice and clean build. I have to wonder if you're trying to thread that line between durability and lightness. Have you had any parts break? Do those rims hold up to rock gardens or riders over 200 lbs? The tires look paper thin. The seat looks really cool, but how do you feel after a few hours in the saddle?

[@TwistedWheels]

I’ve done a 7-day Bike Transalp race on this bike. No parts have broken and it performed great. The only thing I’d change is replace brake rotors with Trickstuff. Otherwise super happy with the setup.

[@calvinyou5728]

Love the build! Where did you got the silver finish with Extralite hubs? On their website there are only black anodized options.

[@TwistedWheels]

I’ve made a hole for internal cables in the FSA top headset cover - it’s shown in the video

[@And-rc9yy]

Best take I have from this video is that you can buy a full bike, sell the parts and be left with a cheaper start point for your dream build. A better alternative to just buying the frame on its own.

[@TwistedWheels]

Yes. And in this case, Scott only sells their HMX and HMX-SL expensive models separately. HMF (heavier model) only comes as part of full bikes
