I was wondering when there was going to be a lighter socom. Haha- nicely done.
NSMB - 2009 Light DH Bike Build Off 7+"
I didn't photo mine, but I used ae15 areo spokes and alloy nips. At least with the 15g the nipples have a little more meat. Probably would not use the spokes on the rear again though, as they have taken more work than the last set.
Whats the weigh difference between a '09 and '10 Boxxer WC?
Here's a buddy of mine's V10 fresh with the 2010 WC Boxxer up front!

WFT?!?!!?
I see another pound he can easily take off that bike as well.
Light V-10s……what is this world coming to!?

the suggest weight difference is about a quarter pound but they also have post mounts and you save some extra weight by not having to run those bulky front brake adapters! o and hey theres my bike ^
the sx wheelset was a ebay win and it came with the specialized tires mounted on the rims….it also came with stans goob already in the tires. if i go to ust tires , although there would be a weight gain, it would be offset loss of the stans.
i think a person could, if they wanted to, get this build in to the low 30's….although i don't think it would be a great bike to ride for DH racing, it could be a great bike for blasting AM trails.
yes dean, it would be neat to borrow some bling parts and see how low she can go. I don't think it would bother me to run XTR cranks full time.
and the 31.5 build was more to just get the title and to beat that 88 in the old thread. this bike will mostly be ridden at the 34.1 weight and the 33.5(air rear shock)

The side knobs are big and exposed, like a Chunder.The center knobs are paired and siped in both the drive/brake and cornering directions. They resemble a mix between the center knobs of a Maxxis Minion DHR and DHF. They

:lol: said linky
Why slag free swag?:rolleyes:
ummm, as your doctor i recommend against riding with a scaphoid fracture.
wow pretty heated. i'm off to go ride and will post something later.
should build it up sub-30 and really pop some heads….
I like how they get their panties in a wad when someone drops in with a really low bike.
Skilled smooth riders can get away with really light stuff, just don't screw up to bad or it will be expensive.
How about a brief write-up on those tires after you get a few rides on them? They were on my shortlist for the 1000 gr. freeride tires and I'd be interested in what you think of them.
moi aussi, SVP
Please let me demonstrate the ride around; really it's no trouble.
