First off I will let the other thread die off, alot of pics have been removed due to time and space.
This is the 07' Weight weenie thread. (I'll start another in 08" )
OK it's a new season, all the little kiddies have the wish lists in and the new DH season is almost upon us. There's a ton of change in the industry regarding weight savings/tubeless etc..
Its build time around the globe so lets start off with some basic guidelines:
1- bikes posted should have pics
2- bike weights have to be around the 40 mark or will be soon.
3- Tips and help is appreciated for all.
4- experienced feedback regarding parts is always appreciated.
I know these are beaten threads, there are new riders this year. They have new jobs, pay raises, x-mas money, etc... as well as new equiptment coming, In hand or on order. The industry has been getting on the diet train as well.
