    Mine was a bit under 26lb when i built it to start with but its now a nats chuff under 22lb i swapped the superstar wheels for hope evo crests the tyres from on one heavy things to nobby nics and got rid of heavy tubes. Still heavier than i would have guessed at for carbon frame and fork tbh

    My wheels are something like 1850g the pair – this feels pretty heavy to me as my first 29 set.

    Cant remember what the hope wheels weighed but it was more than quoted and not much lighter than superstar set. Big weight savings for me were tyres and tubes.

    Oh and i swapped deore cassette for xt but that was for hope freehub protection rather than weight ad rest of stuff is reassuringly heavy deore too 😉

    A hell of a lot more than the suspended geared one. It was a lot cheaper though.
    I’d guess about 28lb.

    About 22lbs, I can go lighter but then (to quote the late great Steve Worland) it turns into a spastic Bambi, thinking about it I should also quote that on the deft to heft thread 😉

    Cheers.

    Smudge under 18lbs..it was lighter but then I got a lust for finishing a ti bike with ti bits rather than carbon and a brooks saddle…just because, even if it did add about 200g straight away. pimp wheels help and stupidlt light cranks etc.

    less than 20 with a butted steel fork and a ti frame.

    a shade over 19 with the old carbon fork. it was slightly over 22 with a rohloff and the old carbon fork

    23 incl pedals with no light bits thrown at it at all, no Ti no Carbon.

    btw the 5 was hardly heavy framed…..

    steel frames are hardly light …

    heavy wheels and tires will always be heavy wheels and tires , two of the easiest places to save weight.

    20.3lbs should be able to get it lighter by taking the tubes out.

    So my wheels must be pretty hefty at 1850g then? No idea how much weight the extra 3″ typically adds. I think my tires are some light racy jobs but they currently have tubes. I reckon I’ll save a lb or so when I go tubeless.

    The bars I just put on are 300g – back in the day I’d ahve 120g carbon bars on. However I still have my carbon seatpost and saddle, and it’s XTR, so it’s hardly a heavy build.

    I guess your 20lb ones are all carbon XC race machines…

    I think my SIR.9 is about 25lbs with it’s 29+ front end.

    Some on MTBR claim to have their SIR.9’s down to below 20lb but they must live near helium gas plants.

    Dumping all the useless geary cack helps keep it light as well.

    Yeah ditch the gears.

    Heavy wheelset too (Flows on Deore) but light tubeless tyres and other stuff for my 23lbs £500 inbred

    Stooge (bathroom scales method): 10.3kg = 22.8lbs inc. pedals.

    Build is: SS, Crests with 2.3 Spesh tyres tubeless, ti post, light saddle, short stem, wide bars, SLX cranks with a Goldtec OneKey wonky ring.

    Intending to go 29+ on the front + a dropper soon so it will get a tad more portly.

    No useless geary cack on mine. Only useful gears.

    I’d suggest that your 27lb could be someone else’s 23lb unless you are using the same set of scales.

    Sounds about right though. That’s not a lightweight frameset.

    Yeah I am only using some cheap fish scales, that may over-read.

    Tubeless will shed some.

    My El Mar (with gears and suspension) came in at 28lbs or so.

    Of course, how else would the fishmonger make a margin?

    I’m using my bathroom scales, so they probably under-read.

    They are for fishermen to weigh their catch, so I’m sure they wildly over-read, for the same reason bathroom scales under-read 🙂

    **** knows, it’s made of steel and had bigass tubeless tyres on it
