@mikewsmith
I know they are Mavic on Mavic dude as it's my bike! My point is depending on what hubs that Santa Cruz has will have an effect on the overall difference between the two wheel sets. As durable as king are they are a lot heavier than a DT Swiss build, for example

Taken directly from the Enve website:

WEIGHT: KING ISO*
1602g
WEIGHT: DT 180*
1420g
WEIGHT: DT 240 15mm/142*
1515g

Weights taken from Mavic website:
Weight : 1660 grams (pair of wheel)

So if your man is running his Enve's with King then as I said there's less that 100g in it, well 58 actually. Not bad considering you could get three pairs of mavics for the price of 1 pair of Enves. They do look mega though! ๐Ÿ˜‰

I'm sure you all know manufacturer weights are optimistic at best and a complete lie at worst. Time after time i've weighed something and it's been over the quoted manufacturer weight, often by a fair bit. For example RS quotes a 2011 Revelation RLT Ti (dual air) as 1636g. When i got mine the steerer had been cut and it weighed 1800g on the nose.

So by the time you've added up the (optimistic) manufacturer weights of all your parts you'll have a bike that on paper weighs at least a few hundred grams, maybe an entire pound, less than it actually does.

Or didn't you realise you were being lied to?

I must have picked better parts and spec lists ๐Ÿ™‚ I planned my last build that way and there was 300g difference which went down for cables and some other misc bits.

Santa Cruz quote 5.3lbs for a Bronson C frame with Fox CTD

Banshee were quoting 8.5 lbs for a Rune with CCDBa when I was looking to buy one.

100g one way or the other on wheels is small potatoes if there's a 3.2lb difference in frames. Banshee has heavier wheels, heavier tyres,and heavier cranks. Not sure where the weight savings can be coming from to get it within 1lb of the Bronson

Just the ones that have the right quoted weights, I'm finding most modern stuff quoted properly just there is still some stuff sneaking in - like forks specced with heavier steerers etc.

The XX1 on my other bike has been great and I love having a gripshift again. I went with a trigger shifter on the Jones though after getting advice from Jeff.

Really, and how can you tell if a part has the right quoted weight? By looking at it I suppose?

Rode with a chap that had just picked up a new carbon Whyte 29er FS.

It felt light to pick up. 26.5lbs he said it weighed, according to Whyte.

I suggested he try me Ti HT, "that's light", says he "what's it 22, 23lbs?"

Nope, 26.5lbs on my (Park) scales ๐Ÿ™‚

Mostly by dropping it on some scales... I was making the judgement based on that and having done 3 builds where the sum of the quoted weights added up to the weight of the bike.

@honourablegeorge

As iv already said earlier in this thread if anything that Santa Cruz should be coming in lighter, closer to 26lbs than where it is up near 28.

I am not saying that there can't be more than 1lbs between the two bikes. What I am saying is that I have weighed mine twice, in my mates shop and at home and it's coming in at 29lbs. My friend is the mechanic at Bike Park Wales and has just build up a rune with an identical spec to mine but in black instead of green and it's coming in at something like 29.04 or the like. He is on this forum so will get him to put pics up.

I think the edges are getting blurred here. The initial discussion for me in this thread is not the fact that there is just over a pound between the two bikes, that's open to discussion. It's the fact that someone called me out and said my measurements are off, which they are not. The bike is under 30lbs. ๐Ÿ™‚

[/i]

It shows how I can get mine down to 26.5lbs with 3x9, big tyres, pedals, dropper, cruds and light-brackets - as my frame is only 3.5lbs. For a 20". ๐Ÿ™‚

Thanks B R.

A much heavier Bronson build coming in at 26.5, which shows that this Gucci version up the page has to be even lighter.

And honourablegeorge the frames were redesigned for 2014 and weight was dropped off in several places, according to the designer. Loss was around 1lb so your frame quote of 8.5 lbs only applies to the 2013 frame.
