Mixing campy & shimano?

maybe i should just leave it weighing heavy. seems to be the way forward really.

Ill just get a tough 9 speed shimano n leave it be

it's not about saving weight it's about having a biek that's fit for the purpose you use it for.

I could go dirt jumping on my 17lb road bike but neither it nor I woudl last long.

If you are lookign to build a dirt bike see what the pro's use – they'll have the strongest, lightest kit that they can safely use because their livliehoods depend on it.

30lb for a jump bike's not bad.

Why not just singlespeed it and save yourself a world of indecision?

Full spec listing of the current build please.

I think you may have to accept though that a DJ bike (which I think is what you have) is never going to be really light and good at its intended purpose.

Unless of course it's just for parading round the carpark… 😉

Crazy-legs

Yeah i know its a beast. well the frame comes in at 2kg, Kona chute. wheels i have just changed, bars are in the works, forks are lightweights as it stands(actaul 1.9kg), seatpost, seat, tires, cranks, headset, seatclamp. i dont know what else to do :S

Give us a spec, and we'll tell you. Honestly changing bolts is a real last resort, you'll save sod all weight doing that, least of all on the jockey wheels!

Right spec

"raceface(unknown type) again custom machined to lighten"

well, they're your testicles but rather you than me.

sorry, not meaning to flame you but are you sure about this?

Are your parts 'custom machined' with a Dremel?! Sounds terrifying! Got any photos of your cranks?

Those brakes are seriously weighty.

I'd think about wheels, they're obviously rather old. Depends how good you are at jumping I guess, or rather landing.

Cranks were done on my 3 axis milling machine as were theother parts.

No pics as there not finished yet.

The wheels are brand new, not even been used yet!! lol

Hope ti-glide hubs and 5-bolt rotors? They were discontinued by Hope about 7 years ago, C2s weren't far behind!

Yeah the hubs are kina new old if you get me.
