What would an inbred 29er with sasla cromoto's and fairly standard kit i.e. Deore cranks/drivetrain and wheels weight?
I'm no weight weeney but don't really want to build something thats an absolute tank. It will be replacing a GT avalanche at about 14kgs (31 lbs)ish.
28/29lbs
A better guess could be achieved with a more detailed account of parts i.e. wheels.
would be something like this:
inbred 29er frame
salsa cromoto forks
deore wheels
deore triple cranks 48/36/26
spd's (no cage don't know exact type though)
Deore f&r mechs
Magura Julie brakes
DMR wingbars (685mm)
Race face prodigy stem (70mm)
Ragley spike seat post
SDG patriot saddle
My 18" Inbred 29er weighs about 5 and a bit pounds. Its not light I dont think it even has butted tubes.
yeah on-one website says the frame is 2.495kgs
28/29lbs
More like 30/31
if it's about the same as my old GT (30/31) lbs i'm happy, much heavier and i might think again.
my 18" has got.
1x9 with 12-26 deore
hope on bontrager mustangs
rst m29
deore brakes/ cranks
ea50 bars, thomson stem, use seatpost
wtb vulpine/ bonty acx
came in at 28lbs
geax gatos added another lb.
not a calibrated scale. 😉
My scandal (rigid ss) weighs much less.
flatfish - Member28/29lbs
More like 30/31
Agreed now I have seen a better breakdown of bits 😀
Reckon i'll go for it. Upgrades will bring the weight down over time.
cheers all.
Mine is built with on-one carbon forks, on-one wheels, SLX drivetrain with triple rings, hope minis, nukeproof stem, sunline flat 'n' wide bars, ardent/ikon tyre combo, controltech post and charge spoon saddle.
All in about 30lbs but that's weighed using bathroom scales so probably +/-1 lb. Feels like it's a very similar weight to my Five.
"Upgrades will bring the weight down over time"
upgrades like the frame?
I seem to think I've saw a weight of the X5/£800 29er build in one of the mags and said it was 32lbs
Frame size will make a difference too. Won't neccessary be 2.495kg or whatever
Yeah they aren't light,but then that's not such a problem unless you're expecting to win races on it....
Quite often makes me smile when I hear people talking about bike weight & components.How that something's tooooo heavy, then you look at them & see they must be carrying a FS's frame amount of weight around their gut alone....
It'll be used for commuting, rides with the kids, and general stuff i don't want to do on my Five. I certainly won't be racing on it.
Frame is £130ish might be heavy but it's cheap and capable.
Couple of years back I built mine up for the road(just slicks & road cranks)for use over the winter & did several centuries on it.The following year my mate lent me his Ti Lynsky road bike,it was about 10lb lighter.I did about the same mileage as the year before,including the long rides...I was far fitter doing the rides on the heavier bike & then when jumping back on a proper MTB it didn't feel like it weighed more than my car......
ads678 - mine's perfect for commuting, local rides and stuff where a road bike won't go but where a full sus would be overkill. Really enjoy riding mine .... don't think you could do better for the money
Excellent, i'm in! 😀
My 21" weighs 30lbs its got
Hope/mavic wheels
Deore and slx 3x9 drivetrain, brakes and spds
Suntour epicion forks,
easton bar and stem and seat post,
Maxxis ardent tyres.
Its a cheap and cheerful frame but rides great.
Sliding dropout frame is between 5.5 and 6lbs from memory. I built one us as a single speed with carbon forks and ok wheels. Rode much lighter than its actual weight.
Was pretty good on technical stuff and was superb for covering big distances.
I once bought some on one rigid forks. Sent them back as they were heavier than my suspension forks.
This was about 26.5 lbs.
Forks are Singular Swifts.
TN719's on Surly SS hubs & WI freewheel.
Thomson kit with carbon bars.
Running Smallblock8's in the summer took it down another pound.

They arent the lightest frame, but they ride great.
Rides better with a steel fork, & the difference between steel & carbon is not as much as youd think.
Have a SIR9 now, with mostly the same kit & thats 23.5 lb.
