Just got done the first round of changes on my newly aquired 950 .
Easton EA 90's set up tubeless
Rockshok Reba RL
Alligator i Link shift cables
Carbon stem cap
Assorted red detailing
Presently comes in at 27.2 pounds .
By comparisson , my Cannondale Rush(alloy) with carbon Lefty and carbon and
Ti bits was 26.7 pounds .
Agree, very nice build. Great idea to paint the bolts in stead of using anodized ones. Saves a lot of money and also I wouldn't want to run alu bolts in my stem.
I had the Ward spindles on my last bike.
After a couple seasons the threads went "soft" and
I couldnt use them in other bikes although I think thats
more of a Ti issue not Wards.
The thru axle on the Revelation was too wide for the Easton hub .
Easton wasnt about to make dif sized hub caps till 2013 :eekster: .
So my shop swapped forks from another RM he had in stock (as it fit) .
I saved a pound with the swap also :thumbsup:
I think the white fork looks better on it then the black one too :thumbsup::thumbsup:
The fork swap necessitated a different stem .
The spacer stack with the Revelation was aprx 1"
high (see pic with Easton stem) .
The Easton stem was straight with zero rise .
The stack with the Reba is way shorter ( see new pic....red spacer ) .
It felt to low for me so I put a dif stem on it with a slight rise and now
it feels pretty much as it did before :thumbsup:
Ditto, very nice indeed. I got my 970 down to 26.75 (with pedals, tubeless, but bigger tires)... but then put a dropper post on so I've gone the other direction!
I believe the stock weight w/o pedals for a medium (either 17 or 18.5) is 26.6.
I've gotten a custom built, 1500 gram wheel set (wtb i19, dt swiss comp spokes, chris King iso), but then put on WTB TCS 2.2 Bronson and 2.2 Wolverine tires and the FOX D.O.S.S. Mine is now just a hair over 28 pounds.
I'll tell you this, I don't race, but I participated in a 46 mile, 7,000 ft elevation gain/climbing ride today and I wouldn't trade the tires or the dropper for the weight! Of course, I wish I could have both!
Changes
Ec70 wide bar
Foam grips
Xtr trail brakes with 180 rotors
Ikon tire front and rear
Tubeless
Time ti carbon pedals
Enve setback post
Specialized carbon phenom seat
I put the tube on from day one because of no immediate alternative and Im
looking .
Top section is just electrical tape .
I may try something else soon .
Ive seen half sectioned plastic hose used but am
unsure of its weight .
Stay tuned .
Now at 26.12 .
Just added a carbon cage , Ti rotor screws , Crank Brothers
foam grips and a different seatpost clamp .
Ive also come to the conclusion that I hate the Matchmaker
mounts for the shifters and brakes .
When I move the brake levers where I like them , the shifter
arm pokes my thumbs so Im going to use independent mounts
for them so I can get everything positioned where I like them .

In that photo you're using the left bolt hole on the shifter, using the right one would move the shifter away from your thumb while maintaining the brake lever position.
