Well I think I'm going to do a build on one of the little Scott spark 20s . Friday night (in the cover of darkness) I pretty much disassembled the whole freekin bike and weighed the parts :shocked:
Forks 4.2 lbs
Cranks rings 1.6 lbs
Rear shock 11.6 oz
Ft wheel with tire 3.0 lbs
Rear 3.5 lbs
etc.
I started digging around in my "old " parts bucket . had an old carbon seat post , some white industry hubs , top line cranks etc.
What do you guys have ? any old take off avid cable disk , lx or xt Disc hubs , crashed out carbon bars , med cage rear 9 speed , rings , cog sets .... what ever
I'm defiantly changing them to a single ring 1x8 or 1x9 and going with a 34 or 36 in the rear .
When your loaded on Scotch ............ WEIGHING KIDS BIKE PARTS ! it makes a man think ......... WTF AM I DOING ! Luckily I found a site that takes all the thinking out of it. www.weightweenies.starbike.com .
