In order to excite yourself, you find ways to make your bike ride better and experience rise to higher level. My pursuit is to make my twitter carbon fiber MTB even lighter
Reported original weight 12.7 kg
Item Price Weight reduced
Saddle P900.00 100.
XT group set 16.500.00 `1,000 grams
Crank set 500
Cogs 200
Brakeset 300
Wheelset and tires 5,000.00
Hubs 200 grams
Rimset 200 grams
Tires --- 400
I found out that even with those fancy sounding tires, rims and hubs, the savings is very minimal
The tires and interior make them heavy. I guess MTB are designed that way to be stable and
reliable. and the penalty is being heavy
Total savings 1,500 grams
Total cost - P22,400/1,500 = `P150.00 gram
Net weight 11.2 kg.
Is this a good weight for a cf MTB. Other MTB weigh 20 kg. Off shelf MTB weigh around
15 - 17 kg even those that are alloy
The only way you can radically reduce weight is:
Shift to Rigid fork even carbon P4,500 `1,600 grams
P2.81 gram
Carbon fiber wheelset = P45,000.00 - 1 kg = P45.00 gram
