Muel Posted August 19, 2009 Report Share Posted August 19, 2009 If I were you I'd strip the bike down, make a spreadsheet and weigh everything, then work how much you could possibly save by changing certain parts, but do it for the lowest price possible.Oh wait, I did.

craigjames Posted August 20, 2009 Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 20mm holes in the rear rim and/or strip it to single wall. Frame like you've said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duncy H Posted August 20, 2009 Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 Maybe try getting your frame adonized. What tubes are you running? If you are running a front disc then it is lighter to run front rim brake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olly Posted August 20, 2009 Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 Pedals for sure.What's the weight of it then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duncy H Posted August 20, 2009 Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 (edited) Adonizing is a way of colouring your frame, http://www.trials-forum.co.uk/forum/index....howtopic=140554 example for you there. Most parts are coloured using this. It will save weight because it removes a bit of the material so if you were wanting to save those last few grams as well as making it look pimp then go for that. Your front wheel is probably letting you down as well. If you are going to go front rim brake get a non disc hub (these can go as little as 60g) and a nice light rim EDIT: as said change your pedals too, I recomend the trialtech magnesium ones, they are super good and will save you nearly 200g.

craigjames Posted August 20, 2009 Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 Its anodising not adonising! but yeah you could strip the frame, a lot cheaper that getting it anodised, erm pedals, what forks are you running? and what tubes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mission Prodigy Trials. Posted August 21, 2009 Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 I would take off the Dmr V8's and replace them with Magnesium or scandium pedals maybe a Titanium Axel if you want to make it even more lighter . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
