Hi,
you may have seen one of my recent posts on the possibility of running 26”forks/wheels on a Yeti SB6C.
The forum users were helpful but silverfish/Yeti both told me it would be horrendous.
So if I cannot afford my dream bike, is it worth spending some coin on weight loss and performance gains for my FIVE AM?
Spec at the moments is:
2012 18” frame
fox rp23 shock
FOX 36 TALAS RLC
Hope pro2evo with flows
Minion DHF/DHR both in TR EXO 3c set up tubeless
Truativ Holtzfeller stem
Renthal Fatbar(alu)
Renthal Kevlar grips
SLX drivetrain 2x with bashring
XT cassette
Reverb.
I am considering:
Sending Forks to mojo to be converted to FLOATs as I never use the travel adjust. This should probably make them more supple and lose a small amount of weight.
Replacing my shock – never been overly impressed with it. Considering ccdb inline or BOS vip’r. May add a little weight, but could improve performance.
Carbon bar and lighter stem.A little weight loss.
1×10 with oneup rad cage and 42 crawler cog.34 narrow/wide front ring- weight loss and simplicity.
Lighter cranks?
I want to know if anyone thinks this would be a good idea in any combination, or, if I would simply be spending money that should be saved for future mountain bike – whatever form that may take.
Thanks,
Si
