Hey! I am getting a heckler and am wondering what kind of components I would ened to get it sub 30 pounds. Now here is the setup i'm going to have on it and the weight of every component. See if my total is right or if i'm missing a few parts that I forgot to add on my bike lol. If theres anything I forgot to calculate please tell me thx.

Components:

Santa cruz heckler frame with fox dhx coil shock - 8 pounds
Maverick duc double crown fork with 6 inches of travel - 4 pounds
xt frond derailleur - 158g
xt rear derailleur - 232g
xt hollowtech2 crankset and integrated bb - 860g
xt shifters - 250g
avid juicy 7 hydraulic disk brakes 6" front and rear- 828g(414 each)
xt cassette - 264g
xt chain - 304g
chris king headset - 100g
easton ea70 stem - 210g
easton ea70 seatpost - 205g
easton ea70 handlebars - 250g
wtb rocket v ti seat - 210g
mavic xc 717 disc rims - 790g(395 each)
dt swiss chanpion spokes black 2.0 both wheels - 444g
dt onyx disc front and rear hub - 585g(192 front , 393 rear)
wtb weirwolf 2.3 tires both tires - 728g
wtb technical grips - 90g

Now since 1 kg = 2.2 pounds and theres 1000 g in a kg, I calculates that 450g is 1 pound. The total of my santacruz heckler with what is listed above is 26.3 pounds. Now i've seen some people on here with hecklers in the 30's and some people that had braught down their's to around 28 or so but I don't know about 26 pounds thought because if this is actually 26 pounds this is a great setup. If anyone find something in my list that is missing please tell me. Thx

Hey!

Also for the bars, post and stem I was planing of getting easton ea 70, is there a reason thompson is better for the post and stem?

Thanks

Jack
Forgo the Ea70 bar, and run a ML bar instead. Lighter, and better vibration damping. I prefer the Thompson post because of the 2 bolt head. I bent/broke 4 posts prior to getting a Thompson 4 years ago. I am still on the same seatpost.
