Apr 15, 2003 10:17 AM | | I just got my new expert and am currently in the process of getting it set up to my liking. Its a little heavier than I would like right now and I want to know if the Ti bolts used on the team are available somewhere? How can I get em and how much would they cost me? Any other way to lighten the bike that wont kill the best features would also help. Large- 21'' is about 30lbs |

Changing the saddle can easily drop that much weight. My WTB Rocket V or something, (can never remember those goofy names) is 205g and is comfy, to boot.
The things that are heavy on your bike aren't cheap to replace. Disc brakes/ UST wheels/tires.... |
| here is my plan | etal
Apr 17, 2003 11:16 AM | | I am looking at getting the same bike and here is my gameplan on shedding a pound or two:
1. Replace the wheels. I am going for wtb disc lite with velocity vxc. It would cost 350$ but would be the most importand pound to lose as its rotational weight. If you must use tubeless get stans.
2. Replace the handlebar , for 70$ you can get a carbon raiser that is 150gr lighter then the EA50 hog or go with a flat bar.
3. Replace the disc breaks. I'm still debating this, but Magura martas would be half a pound lighter (but the cost is prohibitive).
4. The seat I am going to change anyway but this is more out of personal preference ,weight considerations are secondary here.
I think this should give you a good place to start... |

Apr 17, 2003 8:54 PM | | Can any of you estimate the Hollowpoint frame weight? Been trying to find out for a while. Either that or give me the exact weight of the bike if you've measured it. Thanks. |
