Won't actually be 'set up' for a couple of days; but, looks really sweet out of the box! 5.68 lbs. More to come. Thanks Zach at Competitive Cyclist.
Cheers.

take hope pro II with ztr flowhumdinger said:Sadly money is an object (
I've been contemplating either Stans ZTR hubs on Flows, or DT-240s on Flows, but the DT's are super-expensive! As for AC hubs, have no experience with them and the 20mm front hub seems heavy...?
Thanks for the suggestions so far.
Are you kidding?humdinger said:... Tires, the Maxxis are great tires but very heavy, a Kenda Nevegal kevlar or Specialized Eskar will save you even more weight.
If you want lightweight, Maxxis are rarely the best choice. Great tires but not light.
what?humdinger said:They're great wheels gmk, I actually had a pair but at ~1900g they're a bit heavy. Great value wheels but the Easton Haven 20mm's are gonna take some beating at ~1650g. That kinda weight saving's worth having, but a lot more $$$ to buy :0(
anyone know a good price on the 20mm's yet? If they're out yet...
Love the 150mm, strongly dislike the 15mm axle on the fork. It serves no purpose other than replacing a 9mm qr axle.EIC said:Care to expand on that? I was planning on the 32 TALAS in 150 mm.
Can someone define light AM for me? I'm also in the throes of putting together a BLTc build, and I want some insight into the perceived limitations of 32mm forks. Cheers.humdinger said:Nice build.
IMHO if u want a light as possible light-AM bike then 32 forks will do a great job. But if u want a fork which fully does justice to the phenomenally stiff frame and make it an AM shredder, then it's 36 all the way. I don't notice the extra ~0.75lbs but the stiffness difference is significant.
But hey, it's personal preference.
