just built mine up moving stuff over from my old vt and using some new Fox 36 float forks .Weighs 35lb just wondered what other people had them down too? is a ti spring worth it? pics and weight appreciated.
it's your tires and tubes... switch to a 2.35 tubless system and you will drop down to their weight.quickneonrt said:I would love to know how you guys got your sx that light. I have an 07 sxt III sm, ti spring, 06 66 rc2x, king hs, protaper 31.8 bars, diablous 30mm stem,ruffian lock-ons, diety end caps, juicy 7s, thompson seat post cut down, sdg ti fly saddle, Hugi fr dt swiss/440 hubs w/dt 6.1d rims,2.5 nevegals, dh tubes, x-7 8spd rear shifter, x9 short der,8spd xtr steel cass, skf fr600 bb, 165mm middleburn cranks, e-13 srs, ringle mag pedals. It is still comming in around 38lbs. Did one of you guys hide lead in my frame?
Don't think my rims will hold up to well with 2.35's and tubless, most of my riding is at Diablo. Those rockgardens can be tough on wheelsMwehahaha said:it's your tires and tubes... switch to a 2.35 tubless system and you will drop down to their weight.
why not try Stans no tubes you will at least lose the weight of he downhill tubes you have? that could possibly shave a pound?quickneonrt said:Don't think my rims will hold up to well with 2.35's and tubless, most of my riding is at Diablo. Those rockgardens can be tough on wheels
Nope, no more nomad. To sum it up I would say my old Nomad climbs better and the SX descends better.dbabuser said:BnS - no more Nomad? How do they compare?
Yeah, that is definitely my DH race bike.AmPb100 said:Jeremy, your SX is absolutely beautiful.
Are you using that to race as well, because I've been wanting to get into racing but I dont have the financial means as a college student to have a trailbike and a DH bike (even with working at a shop!), but that would be perfect for an all in one.
Nice build, its definitely unique. How do you like the Double Barrel compared to the DHX? Is it worth the extra coin?Jeremy R said:Like this:
Yes, the DB is worth the coin.sdwKubed said:Nice build, its definitely unique. How do you like the Double Barrel compared to the DHX? Is it worth the extra coin?

Funny, your name came up yesterday while I was on the phohe with I-9. I ordered bue wheels like yours with a differenet rim combo. I'll bring my twin Blue to masnuts. May see you there.Jeremy R said:Yeah, that is definitely my DH race bike.
I went from a Demo 8 last year to this SX trail for 07.
I race on the East Coast with a lot of tight twisty trails, and it feels great.
