bit of it are disappearing at least: the ones that are not essential for dirt jumping. last time<\/a> we removed the front derailleur plus triggers, the old heavy seat and the front brake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

this time we converted the bike to single speed. that means: the cassette makes room for a single ring, the rear derailleur is replaced by a simple chain tensioner and of course the trigger goes as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

it’s a quick and simple procedure, just some basic nip & tuck, but the results are spectacular: 515 grams (actually a bit more for the cable & housing) have again been removed from the bike. that’s half a kilo! amazing how heavy those old shimano parts are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

the bike now weighs in at 12.4 kg, that is 2 kg lighter than it was to begin with!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

now what to do with those incredibly heavy wheels?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
