@@BryanKeller724 CushCore, with semi-low pressure (21-23psi), and EXO casing tires = cause of multiple busted rims for me. CushCore, SG plus sized tire with relatively high pressure (20 psi for plus is quite firm) = cause of busted rim (plus tires are notoriously bad for bottoming when plowing over chunky rocks). SG tire with no insert, and 27-29 psi, so far so good. Not even rim strikes. Felt like I lost something, but I forgot what that something is. Tried riding an old bike, and it felt flimsy and was stopping to see if the tire pressure was low due to squirm. Don't miss the low pressure, and feel more emboldened to venture further from civilization with this level of reliability.

Hi, I am under your weight goal on my Mondraker Foxy carbon 2019. Some of the things which helped: Non plus components hubs - multi engagement rathet, ebike ready but significantly lighter than industry 9 (86g front 169g rear) Berd spokes. I built the wheels myself, though its not for the faint hearted but Berd can build your weels for you. the spokes would come down to 80g total and are lighter than water Enduro speced wheelset weights 1460g with ALU rims (to avoid the rockgarden experience you ve had) fox transfer SL post at 340g kcnc cassette at 320g, compatible with Eagle and has a more even stepping with a 9-52 range. Reminds me of the protottype AXS cassette Selle italia corbonio SLR, if you choose the correct shape the meager padding is actually sufficient (130g) I also got myself a 4iiii powermeter, but stuck to the xx1 crankset with absoluteblack oval chainring (420g) xx1 derailleur with Hopp carbon parts 200g and kcnc pulleys (this is way overboard and makes the derailleur more fragile plus is not a great value for money BTW) you could also save a lot by running lighter tyres, DHR/DHF combo with EXO skin save you some 200g compared to what your bike is wearing. You could save an additional 100g if you go DHr front and back and have only a 2.4 width on both, but you are compromising on rolling resistance and somewhat on downhill speed XTR SPD pedals with a titanium axle 260g, the axle is only 50 euros extra plus getting your hands dirty tubolito spare tube on the bike, 48g (people do carry spares, so this does count in. wolftooth toolset, chainbreaker and tubeles repair stowed away in the handlebars, 133g altogether Giant CO2 pump stowed away in the fork tube 133g On the road weight with a bottle of water (the 900ml fidlock) is 14.5kg, this is on a bike with 160mm front fox 36 and 150mm dxp2 back travel If I switched to a more recent frame, an extra 600g would be saved by that switch I could save another 300+g by switching brakes to trickstuff piccola with KCNC titanium rotors, (currently sram code R) In other words its achievable to have the 13.6kg with water, tools pump, spare tube, running tubeless with muckoff or stans, oon alu rims, tubeless repair kit with pedals on, lights on, co2 pump and a small handpump, but it requires a lot of DYI, but you will be able to get enduro spec on that weight and definitely upwards of an extra -1kg for a 125mm travel trail bike (fox 34 fork -500g, lighter tyres -300g, carbon rims -100g, lighter frame -400g)

Keep an eye on your spectral frame particularly at the world's and headtube. I've cracked 2 spectral frames both lasting a year. Fortunately canyon replaced both under warranty

Hey Evan... I have the Spectral 125 CF7, since I've had it I have a bit of a rattling noise coming like from the front of the bike. Cockpit, fork? I don't know. I swapped out the stem and bars and it seemed to reduce the noise. But now I think I'm tracking the noise to the internal cables bumping against the frame when riding? Is there any feedback or recommendations you might have? Thanks!

Well the Acros headset has a plastic race that is pretty much pointless. I had a rattle too and replaced the headset and it went away. Not sure if the carbon frame uses the same crap headset though

@@EvansMTBSaga yeah the headset was crap lol... I guess I just have to keep adjusting the spacers to see if I can really nail it down. Thanks again! 🙏

Wow you hacked into that new Spectral quickly, especially after commenting about how it didn't need upgrades. 😀Think I'm going to keep mine stock for a while after it arrives, maybe change the grips and saddle if needed. Canyon claims the AL frame is 500 g heavier than the CF, so if the top-end bike is 30 lb, then you're doing pretty well to get the AL version down to 31. Your riding honestly looked awesome on the stock bike, so maybe the extra mass isn't a hindrance.

you need higher pressures if you hit the rims, also Cush Core will help on hits like this, but not if it's a 1M drop into a rock or something.

Hey Man, I genuinely think that you should try out the Halo Vortex wheels. They have the best sound attributes, Are very clicky, And it also has amazing performance benefits. I highly recommend you give them a go because after you try them I guarantee you will keep them as your permanent wheels.

Your shredding skills have improved quite a lot, maybe time for a heavier more burly build.

Hey! really loved the video and I have a question: why do you put a few spacers above your stem instead of below? it really irks me lol

I love chasing a lighter and more playfull bike but it pains me when you take off these suuuper good parts😭 I have a polygon xtrada 7 and its pretty much perfect but now i guess you can always get better😅 love your stuff btw I’ve been here since the Schwinn Axum, your actually the reason that i got that bike! (Even tho i broke the fork on some sick jumps in like a month)

I got the Xtrada 7 and ended up changing: fork (Fox 34), brakes and rotors (XT), wheels (DT swiss XR391), Tyres (Contis), seatpost (PNW dropper), seat (Giant Romero SL), Stem (race face), Handlebar (race face carbon), grips (odi rogue), headset (cane creek 40). But everything else is stock! haha

Can save ~100g with going to a saddle with carbon rails like Selle Italian XLR carbonio. Bit surprised you smashed the rim there, riding didn't look too aggressive.
@EvansMTBSaga2 жыл бұрын
I know right! I switched to a Fizik just yesterday, even heavier, but I'm already gonna return it. Gonna try an Ergon with ti rails next. Just trying to find the right seat width for me. I love those lightweight seats though.

Hi there. Great video!! I’ve been working on a similar project to lighten my Transition Spire. What are the green hubs you’re using on those Nobl wheels - and where did you get the custom Nobl decals to match? On Nobl’s website the closest thing is a more darker/forest green… but ideally want the more lime green that you have.

Why would you weight weenie a Spire? Unless you got the cheap build with heavier components and are just upgrading
@slick-riq Жыл бұрын
@@mrvwbug4423 Very fair point! Two reasons, one is I like the handling/behavior if I can get the bike lighter, but also I hold the world record for slowest climber... I don't particularly care how fast I climb, I know I'll always be slow, but I try to keep myself lean and hit the weights as well, along with shaving weight on the bike to try making the climbing a little bit more efficient. I suppose there's a couple of more reasons which is to experiment with the effect of weight changes (though it'd be easier to just go heavier to measure that :) ), and using it as an opportunity to learn how to do upgrades/maintenance on my own. Though I have to say, the Spire climbs **shockingly well** - it's allowed me to ride further and longer than ever before.
