[Closed] How much does your 160mm bike weigh?

I have 203s on the front of mine, even though it really doesn't need it. Reason being, it means the brakes can be working incredibly badly yet still stop me

That's a good idea, pretty much the same reason I run a 203 up front - it never hurts to be "overbraked" and the weight penalty isn't massive.

I'm really liking some of the builds on here. Do you think there is a trend towards having one do it all bike these days? Certainly for me getting rid of my XC bike and my DH bike was a good move. The XC bike was constantly being repaired and although excellent uphill was a nightmare on rough stuff, and the DH bike was so specific that it was useless outside of an uplift day. All I do now is stick some big tires on and maybe soften up the fork to go on uplift days/Alps holidays, life is sweet.

No idea, but it was the only bike in our group to get a heavy tag off easyjet.
05 Heckler with coils, built to survive, but nowhere near DH beef. Can't believe my mates patriot didn't get a heavy tag.

sorry i posted a 150mm bike.. maths error. well anyway 150-160 is similar class.. maybe add 1lb for changing a lightweight revelation for something burly 36mm?

Amazed people have Saint Cranks on trail bikesSays the bloke with 200mm brakes 

Still lighter than saint cranks 😀 I had a set never again. Mind you I have only bent some old isis rf xc ones. Six or XT are holding up

Seriously doubt you can build any 160mm bike under 29lb and keep it strong/stiff.
Which begs the question, why would you want a weak build on a long travel bike?

No, it's pretty easy. Still not cheap but far from impossible. Getting it under 26lbs whilst keeping it strong and durable would be more of a challenge.

Strength and stiffness are relative terms of course but most 160mm carbon frames and am components are very very stiff these days and pretty strong.

New s-works enduro is under 26lbs: [url= http://www.bikerumor.com/2012/07/10/2013-specialized-mountain-bike-highlights-new-s-works-enduro-xx1-camber-carve-more/ ]click-click[/url]. Wonder if a mincer like matt hunter finds it's too weak...
