2010-2011 Norco Team DH
Got it with A-line build kit initially and shop claimed it was around 40lbs. Have upgraded bunch of stuff since then. Haven't weighed it, but guessing around 39lbs or so? Will try get it on scale soon.
Fork: 2012 888 Evo
Shock: CCDB steel coil
Wheelset: Mavic EX 823 laced to Hope Pro 2 Evo hubs
Tires: Maxxis dual-ply DHF and High Roller 2
Tubes: XC 220g tubes
Stem: Answer Direct Mount
Bars: Drawing a blank, but similar to Answer Pro-taper DH bars, just made by other brand
Pedals: Forte flats
Brakes: 2010 Code Rs
Rest is stock 2010 A-line build kit I believe.
last time I weighed it it was 39 lbs. since them I've added a Titanium XTR cassette, xtr shifter, and lighter tires (still 2 ply DH, 2.35 in size) and have a pair of XO DH carbon fiber cranks on the way (bike shop ordered the wrong sized bottom bracket length). Should be close to 38 lbs.
Some weight savings are on my list of expenses (far, but still there):
- CC BDair (ca. 200g off)
- ZTR Flow or WTB Frequenecy i23 TCS rims paired with Sapim CX Ray/Laser spokes and Hope hubs (ca. 250-280g off)
34 pound now with trail tires Running Hans Dampf...
probably too light of a build for a youngster to rip gnarl but I doubt grandpa is going to bend it even if I do like sick air
Best do it all bike for the price
2011 Canfield ONE 200mm DH 35 pounds
2010 Specialized Pitch 100% non stock 29 lbs
Wife: 2009 Canfield ONE also 29 lbs
Dude, that Taka looks nicer with a white fork! If you get an Angleset, you can add more slack to the bike and be set... I personally dig how the frame looks. Maybe you can paint it a different color when you scratch it up bad enough. BTW, 38 lbs might be too optimistic... those things come in at around 43 lbs stock.
Yeah i was surprised with the weight personally. My medium bike stock came in at 41 pounds (FWIW Mountain bike action Magazine said theirs came in at 40.5 for a size medium). Throw a used DA cassette and chain on there. Shimano XTR trail brakes. TI saddle that I had laying around, a Descendant crank, 2012 888 EVO, DM stem and new bars......sheds a lot of weight LOL
I wasn't planning on doing the fork or crank, but I kept bashing those stock 175mm cranks on rocks.....and the original fork was messed up from the start.
41.5 (not a true dh bike though...sporting a fd)
Running Formula Oro brakes
Saint drive train (Gravity dh cranks)
Hadleys/823 w/Maxxis Exo front and 2 ply dhr rear (tubless)
