Goal: Hardtail for Training in "easy" terrain.
Seat Post: Syntace P6 31.6x400
Pedals: Eggbeater 4ti, what else
Custom, Carbon + Titanium, by coparni.
Syntace F99 120mm, titanium screws
Procraft Superlite
Schwalbe Furios Fred 2.0. Fit well for easy terrain, when I go to real terrain I'll either use the fully or at least its wheelset.
DT Swiss 240s, al nippels, DT Revolution on the front wheel, rear DT Revo/Comp mix, ZTR Olympic rims.
FSA K-Force light MTB. Not going to use bottom bracket and chain rings.
and then... tuning. took a while.
Chainrings: FRM pro
Bottom Bracket: XTR 970, leaving the quill out, not needed with closed housings. Two more spacers needed, total 86g.
and finally all together. Crankset with Bottom Bracket: 710g.
Magura Marta SL. Tuning: al-screws for the handle mount, ti-screws for caliper and rotor. tube not shortened on the pictures, minus 8g.
Shimano FD-M953 34.9 DP. Tuning: Al-screws
Shimano CS-M970 11-32.
Shimano RD-M972 SGS.
Syntace Duraflite Carbon, old (light and beautiful) version
XLC Prolite
Syntace CRB
Tune Pulsar
Tune Speedneedle
NoSaint MaxAri Carbon, 19"
Headset: Tune BuBu
Chain: Shimano CN-7900. It is a 10-speed but works fine for 9-speed, even tho Shimano doesn't admit that. Gear shifting is even smoother than with the well known 7701, and it is lighter. After shortening 241g.
Bottle Cage: of course... Tune Wasserträger
Shimano XTR SL-M970, before and after tuning
The fork I want is not available for at least 6 more weeks since the vendor is desperately waiting for some parts.
So - the overweight Reba comes to use again.
The Reba has an IS2000 mount for the brake caliper, the intended fork has Postmount of course. And it turns out that all marta calipers I have are IS long (gives 180mm front or 160mm rear) or Postmount, but not one IS short (160mm front or 140mm rear). And since I completely forgot that PM->IS adapters exist that do not add 20mm so that I could have used the PM caliper with IS adaptor and 160mm disk, aside from the fact that I hate that adaptor shit, well, I ended up using a 180mm rotor for the time being. Grrrr.
2. 7., no headset yet
2. 7., stem, handle bar, brakes, seat post and seat added
2. 7., derailleurs
15. 7., headset and shifters
15. 7., cable routing is nice, not much shell needed
15. 7., XTR cables, 11g cut off later
15. 7., cable routing done
16. 7., done so far - until the planned fork arrives
front brake pads needed replacing. the ones in there originally were not new so they did last longer than these 418kms. put another pair in that i had laying around, look almost new.
Finally the fork arrived.
weight shortened is 1326g.
10g to win with the lighter speedneedle, always welcome :)
The date is coincidence...
Custom Al screw instead of the standard steel one. Not good for getting the
crank arm on the spindle, but good for fixating it there afterwards. Saves
20g (yes, really!).
rear hub: replace the standard 18T ratchets by the new 36T ratchets. In this case the 10 saved grams are just a nice side effect.
Tune DC 16 + DC 17, 36g
They broke while riding. Utterly surprised. Replacement ones on their way.
Eventually I disliked the gold on the 4ti enough to go for custom eggbeaters.
AX Lightness managed to get post and bar to me as ordered on the second attempt.
chain was due for replacement.
the existing 240s hubs, rebuilt with ZTR Alpine and CXray. New set of tires (same model, but selected and thus lighter) at the same time.
The shiny new Magura Storm SL rotors. Going down to 140mm in the back. Thus also changing the rear brake caliper to an IS short one.
Front hub fully disassembled, re-greased and reassembled. Rear only re-greased, don't have the ring nut tool. All bearings in good shape.
New bushings, bearings, sealings, grease
