My Whippet project has been going for a year now, it went from just building the lightest MTB possible, which didn’t work as I took it to Llandegla to go at the blue route and it nearly shook my hands off.
Now I’m trying to build as light a possible, functional hardtail that I can take to Degla.
At the moment I’m looking at tyres as I am currently running heavy Contis. The wheels are ZTRs so tubeless are an option, but not a necessity.
Anyone any idea what will be a good upgrade? Thunder Burt? Wild Race R?
Oh, 26″ by the way. I’m also all ears if anyone’s got any other weight saving ideas.
