Great photos of a great looking ride.<br /> Woody </p> http://moots.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=986#post-3387 Thu, 08 Sep 2011 17:17:52 +0000 boots2000 3387@http://moots.com/bbpress/ <p>What are you using for chainstay protection? I like the look of your solution. does it deaden the "ting-ting" from the Ti? </p> http://moots.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=986#post-3334 Mon, 05 Sep 2011 23:21:10 +0000 29ner 3334@http://moots.com/bbpress/ <p>Enjoy your write ups and photos. Informative, articulate, and obviously someone who rides (and has some money). I am not a weight weenie, so I skip through some of that stuff, but nice builds and sharp looking bikes. You gotta get on some the 700c bikes...... </p> http://moots.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=986#post-3332 Mon, 05 Sep 2011 21:25:36 +0000 diglloyd 3332@http://moots.com/bbpress/ <p>Posted a note on tire choice with the MootoX RSL, VERY big difference in how the bike performance is veiled by heavier tires, and revealed by lighter ones.<br /> <a href="http://windinmyface.diglloyd.com/Moots-2011MootoX_RSL-tires.html" rel="nofollow">http://windinmyface.diglloyd.com/Moots-2011MootoX_RSL-tires.html</a></p> <p>As far as bike weight, mine should drop to about 21.5 with the lighter tires (with two tubes of Stan's each) and the carbon crown SID XX World Cup (to be confirmed shortly, installing the fork).</p> <p>The sealant alone totals about 246g (123g per tire), so one has to specify all such details for weight figures to have meaning for comparison. I also verify my weights on two different scales.<br /> <a href="http://windinmyface.diglloyd.com/gear-mtb-tires-StansNoTubes.html" rel="nofollow">http://windinmyface.diglloyd.com/gear-mtb-tires-StansNoTubes.html</a><br /> <a href="http://windinmyface.diglloyd.com/Moots-2011MootoX_RSL-build.html" rel="nofollow">http://windinmyface.diglloyd.com/Moots-2011MootoX_RSL-build.html</a></p> <p>When I add the Moots Ti handlebar and stemp (using temporary ones now), weight might increase slightly. </p> http://moots.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=986#post-3059 Mon, 22 Aug 2011 23:11:27 +0000 boots2000 3059@http://moots.com/bbpress/ <p>Mine is including king ti cages and xtr 980 pedals. Also- it is not 21.4 lb. It is 21 pounds and 4 ounces. That is 21.25 lb. </p> http://moots.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=986#post-3027 Sun, 21 Aug 2011 16:21:20 +0000 diglloyd 3027@http://moots.com/bbpress/ <p>Here’s frame weight on the Moots MootoX RSL 18":<br /> <a href="http://windinmyface.diglloyd.com/Moots-2011MootoX_RSL-weight.html" rel="nofollow">http://windinmyface.diglloyd.com/Moots-2011MootoX_RSL-weight.html</a></p> <p>pedal weight adds 2/3 of a pound. I know people like to weigh bikes without pedals, but that's so silly since I need pedals to ride my bike. :)<br /> <a href="http://windinmyface.diglloyd.com/gear-mtb-pedals-ShimanoXTR.html" rel="nofollow">http://windinmyface.diglloyd.com/gear-mtb-pedals-ShimanoXTR.html</a> </p> http://moots.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=986#post-3026 Sun, 21 Aug 2011 16:19:21 +0000 diglloyd 3026@http://moots.com/bbpress/ <p>I'm building mine with the new 2012 RockShox SID and Easton EC90 XC 29er wheels:<br /> <a href="http://windinmyface.diglloyd.com/Moots-2011MootoX_RSL-build.html" rel="nofollow">http://windinmyface.diglloyd.com/Moots-2011MootoX_RSL-build.html</a></p> <p>"complete" is *with* pedals and bottle cages, fully ready to ride? </p> <p>Given that the frame saves maybe 0.6 lb or a YBB 26, a 21.4 build sounds a bit dubious, but I'll hold out hope for my build. </p> http://moots.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=986#post-3019 Sun, 21 Aug 2011 00:36:50 +0000 boots2000 3019@http://moots.com/bbpress/ <p>Just finished mine. 21 lb 4 oz complete.
