Kinda looks like you trimmed the centre knobs down to make it fit!
40lb post! DH/FR Rigs around the 40lb mark! tips, pics, specs

I like to think of it as a speed strip!
I did then opted to go 2.35 and that one is going on my F1 for FR and crappy dusty pedaly trails. Center should work good at the 4x and DJ as well.
what about mud? Oh yeah, you live in Cali.

Thats crazy light, the jedi frame is 8.24lbs minus shock and spring but all mounting hardware is on there still.Yeah, my DHX & ti is 699g, so going to an air would save me almost exactly 0.5lb.
if your frame was 10.25 with a steel spring I'd guess that the shock/spring was about 800g which puts the frame only at 8.5lb - very light indeed!
Carbon bars.... don't get me wrong, I'm tempted. But I'm just saying no for now
Carbon bars, tune hubs & air front and back would see me at 33.1
Just got it built up last night and pretty happy with the way it turned out. Right at 40 at the moment but a ti spring and an upgraded drivetrain should knock it down a bit more.

Fvck me thats nice.
i agree with damo.
I like the build but the logos on the m6 are annoying. They just make a nice frame look not that good.
Nothing against the look of the bike the old protos with different stickers just looked better. Still a killer ride for sure.

I'm in the process of trying to get my ride below 40 pounds... we'll see if it happens or not. New fork, brakes, cranks, shifter/derailer, saddle and seatpost should all help.
The only thing that could be stopping me is the wheel set, although the WTB Dual Duties aren't the heaviest, they sure aren't light. And neither are Chunder tires.

Very frigging nice. You Euros have to be loving the fact that Dubya has allowed the U.S. dollar to take a gigantic dump on itself . . . everything American is on sale!!

Martin Swiss...you could have picked a more respectable placeLast years bike, but still very current and very respectable weight
thats right.. our luck, nevertheless everything but the frame w/shock, headset and chainguide was bought here in good ol´ germany.
ss? here´s mine click :biggrin:
Did you polish the Saint cranks yourself? If so, how did you do it?
The original plan was to make the crank look like an XTR, but someone decided to toss all my stuff in a big pile and ruined the paint job that was drying. All I did was sandblast the crank, then smoothed out the scratches and gradually sanded it down with finer and finer sandpaper. Then I started the polishing on a bench grinder with an 8" buffing wheel. I used two different compounds to get the finish nice and smooth.
I just finished building my new bike for the upcoming season. As it sits with downhill tires it weighs 38.8 lbs. When I had my sea otter tires(2.35 maxxis minion dhf's) it weighed 37.1 lbs. Heres the build and a link to the pictures, as I don't know how to post a picture inside of a thread.

I changed that retarded Daredevil spacer out for some carbon fibre ones, I would have converted all my spacers to CF, but we ran out.

Can I ask how you got the X-9 mech to work with 6 speed?My 2008 Commencal DH Supreme
2006 x.0 Sram shifter
2007 x.9 Sram derailur Shortcage
2008 XTR Cassette (made into 6 speed)
I just tried to set up mine for 6 speed and the limit stop screws will only alow it to limit to 8, I even tried replacing the low screw for a longer one, but after limiting it to 7 speed it fouls the other side of the cage stopping you getting the higher gears.
same issue here, I tried the same and ddin't work
Sorry guys it was converted to a 7 speed. TYPO
fixed for ya
