Total Weight = 25.9lbs...not bad for such a big bike with Hope M4 brakes and 200mm rotors! A chunk of weight savings comes from the custom hand-built wheelset by Tahn Von Rehmer at Willow Glen Bicycles:
Front Wheel
Hope Pro II hub w/Maverick 24mm axle conversion kit
Velocity VXC 29er rim
Sapim CX-Ray spokes
Brass nipples
Three cross lacing pattern
Rear Wheel
Hope Pro II hub
Velocity VXC 29er rim
Sapim CX-Ray spokes
Brass nipples
Three cross lacing pattern
Wheelset weight = 1740g...this is over 100g lighter than many pre-built wheels on the market! Thanks Tahn for such a sweet build.
