Gear changes
I reported earlier that I purchased a 2010 Scott Scale 29. This has been a great bike for me and it treated me well. I weigh about 150 lbs and that is a weight I am comfortable with and will be trying to maintain. My bike however weighs a svelt 27.4 lbs which isn't exactly light for a XC hardtail race bike, especially for someone my size. So, I am in the process of making a few modifications. My goal is to have a much lighter bike that will give me a better power to weight ratio and better gearing for XC racing. More information to come later but for now I will leave you with this...

What kind of changes are in store for the weight savings? Are you planning on doing all of this yourself?
ReplyDeleteFull XO drivetrain, all new cockpit, basically everything. I just made a new post with the changes. I was going to do the build with some friends but plans changed and the LBS is doing it for me now.
