Lighter than a Ghost.

I finished installing my new upgrades recently. Which included the entire drivetrain.I've also removed a bunch of unnecessary bits, like the bash guard and chain device.

 

I put her on the scale, she weighs in at 30.19lbs. I'm happy with that weight, though I know I can get it even lighter with some new wheels, but those cost a lot. Carbon Fiber is another upgrade option for some parts, but again...carbon components are expensive.Ultimately I'd like to trim her down to below 30lbs.

Upgrades include:

~SRAM X9 Type 2 Clutch RD(Rear Derailleur)

~SRAM X7 Shifter Pod

~Race Face Narrow Wide chainring (black)

~SRAM PG1050 cassette

~KMC X93 chain

 

New parts are so shiny. I hope to keep them that way, though I doubt it.

Good thing too, upon removing my old parts, I found a busted jockey wheel on my RD (It's missing teeth)

Riding is one of those things that relaxes me... It's a great stress reliever. I feel better after a ride.
