such an insane progression. any thoughts on using berd spokes? are they any lighter than normal spokes?
Posted about 1 year ago
I'm using carbon spokes up front, so not much benefit there, but definitely could save ~50g on the rear wheel by using them.

Did you have any trouble getting the chainring to fit? Did you have to get Fibrelyte to make it specifically for the red cranks
Posted about 6 years ago
came back for the updates! I reckon you will save at least 100/150g if you strip the frameset raw carbon and just clear it.
Would be awesome to get to low 4s. Keep it up!

The parts that I have on order listed below, will drop the bike below 10lbs.
Russian Raketa rear hub: 100g savings
Darimo seatpost clamp: 20g savings
Carbon/alu cog: god knows
Bbinfinite GXP BB: 30g savings
Estimated total weigh savings: 150g / .33 lbs

Those integrated berk components are so sick, I love the seatpost/saddle so much

Nice build, looking to base a build around the same frame, this is really helpful. A long term project due to funds! Want a light hill climbing bike. Will watch as your bike evolves, nice wheel-set......

I think it can be lighter by using smaller cog and lower rims and so on.....

I’m well aware....I could save ~150g using a shallower rim/lighter rear hub, but I really like this Corima set. A smaller cog would save a few grams, which isn’t really a concern of mine at this point.

What're you planning on replacing the wheels with?
Posted almost 9 years ago
I have my sight set on some Lightweights. But only if I can sell the Corimas.

Please, remove that slack on the chain, my eyes are bleeding when I look at this.
So extraordinary bike with such a bloomer.

Wow man that's light, I'd be scared of hitting a bump and flying to outer space
Posted about 9 years ago
do you reckon you could go down 5kg? If yes, what's in your mind?
Posted over 9 years ago
It would be pretty simple, if I were to switch to road crank & a 3/32 chain/cog. I'm working on getting a clavicula in the near future. But for now, it's light enough! (Almost too light)
Posted about 9 years ago
ahah yeah definitively, I wish I could 'feel' what 5.1kg means!
keep it real
Posted about 9 years ago
bruh! Saw the notification and now you went down 300gr from my last comment! ahah
incredible
Posted about 7 years ago
Super sick even if I'm sure you can go under 5kg
Posted over 9 years ago
Thanks! Oh yeah, swapping the crank and using a 3/32 setup would do the trick. But it's light enough for now :)

That bar/stem combo is soooo slick, especially with the matching seat post/saddle combo. Well done
Posted over 9 years ago
Smaller chainring, smaller cog and less chain links could save some more weight :)

Mack Superlight hubs to AX Lightness or Lightweight rims and a custom carbon Fiber
-Lyte ring on THM Clavicula or Lightning cranks would take this over the top.
Posted over 9 years ago
I agree, I currently have a fiberlyte ring on the bike. And I'm in the process of getting a clavicula!
Posted over 9 years ago
I decided to have a custom carbon spider built for the rotor. THM will be a upgrade down the line.
Posted over 9 years ago
I have Clavicula cranks on my road bike. So much stiffer and lighter than the newest Rotor 3D+ cranks. The price is hard to stomach but the performance and weight savings is worth the extra $500 or so.

Fuck me and jesus christ, this is the meanest thing I've seen!
Posted over 9 years ago
Haha yeah, once I figure out the most comfy stem position, I'll cut it properly.
