[@TwistedWheels]

Thanks man! I’m more worried whether I will hold up for the race haha

[@CRITESBIKER]

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 🤣

[@lightweightbikes2022]

Maxis 285tyres at 2.0 is the lightest and great for grip . My sub 6kg scott spark has them .

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 😁

[@TwistedWheels]

Thanks!

[@lightweightbikes2022]

It takes many hours to remove the paint but it's worth it . I went a little insane with my spark and made it single speed at under 6kg .I have since added gears so will be weighing it soon .

[@legioner304]

нормально, пойдет за пивом сгонять

[@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

[@iliakinker]

Great bike but the most beautiful was her son.

[@RangerRick9211]

Foremost, I love your builds! Question: what is the cable driven float assembly on the Fox fork? I’ve never seen something from the cockpit!

[@TwistedWheels]

You mean the remote lock out cap?

[@BerudPL]

Always hyped for Your builds, cheers

[@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.

[@mosonshow2563]

I love it! Congrat to your build. I'd like to do my cockpit exactly as yours. Can you tell me, can I buy exact the same shifting for my XX1 as you bilded it? Thanks!

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!
