The wheels are pretty loud! Are they UST or not? I'd have gone for XTR over XO as well......nice bike though, bet it flies 😀

I had an XTC carbon too, very light - although mine looked a wee bit bigger than yours...

Have a look at these also, small price to save probably another 100g:

Selle San Marco Aspide 170g, thinking of swapping for a selle Gel XC as it is a bit sharp and the xc is only 5g heavier.

Thats what happens when you try and reply to a forum on your phone when drunk at a wedding!!! 😀

It needs MUD and CRAP all over it for it to be a bike rather than a decoration in the shed or garage IMO :ROLL:

Imagine how much faster it will be when the rear mech works 🙂
And I take it the wheel designer has a few issues when it comes to finding valves 🙂

I love the X-0 - a thing of beauty. It's not right to drag it through muck and filth. I'm thinking of taking mine off the bike and sticking it on the mantelpiece.

The wheels are a bit garishly stickered. Why put a sticker on that says "[b]VALVE[/b]". Is it not obvious?

Lovely bike - lose the wheel stickers and it'll become so stealthy, it'll never show up on radar.

nice bike, not too keen on the frame( doesn't really say expensive) and you could prob save some extra weight with some 355's over american classics but overall its really nice. I'm sure it flies

So what's the best thing to get stickers off? Soapy water? Sandpaper? 🙂
