You guys running the lightweight air suspension on your DH rigs...are you noticing a decrease in performance? Are your shocks heating up on long runs? I'm just curious. Never really thought of running anything but coil for DH personally, but the new generation of air shocks/forks have me intrigued.

I guess I'll play. Been building up this slightly used frame with mostly spare parts I had lying around. I'm waiting on my new cranks to come in, but right now it's 35.12 lbs. I ordered some Truvativ Descendants and an e.13 guide ring. Assuming the weights are correct below and the manufacturer's weight for the pedals is correct, I should be right around 37.6-37.8 or so when it's finished. It's a large Specialized Status 1. We'll see if I'm right next week. :p





Crank Weight (Technically mine should actually be lighter with 73mm BB/spindle)
Ring Weight

I don't really care all that much because it's a downhill bike, but it's fun to speculate. Under 38 isn't bad with some midrange steel coil suspension and heavy, stout wheels with steel rear axle. I could easily build this up lighter if I wanted to, but I [personally] think this is a good mix of price/performance and weight/durability. If I was racing I might feel different, but this is just my play bike. :)

Bicycle tire Tire Bicycle wheel Wheel Bicycle frame


My TR250 build ended out to be 17.08kg/37,65lbs in the end.

Should be starting on an Aurum build soon, should be around the same weight, but the Boxxer WC will save some I think, will also go for some lighter tyres and the frame might also be a bit lighter than the TR250.

Looks like I was right. 37.6. I'm pretty happy with that.
