I have same bike but newer model - i also went for XT brakes, brilliant move hey! Couple of questions if you will:
1. looks like you have put the stem into an aggressive position and maybe shortened it - what difference has it made (except the obvious i suppose). I am thinking of a shorter stem - should I?
2. XT wheelset, again difference? Did it chop much weight off, and how do they handle compared to Giant wheelset (which I find is bombproof, but maybe a little bit heavy, ok they have a massive waistline...).

Thanks.

Burner.

Wow, that is fantastic - but don't you ride it with pedals???

So why do people quote weight without pedals? (or is that just me who wonders why the fark people do this?).

Nope not just you, a bit like quoting the curb weight of a car without the pistons.

most manufacturers quote the weight as supplied (why would they want to make their product look heavier?) which is generally sans pedals.

Hi mate,

It's true, but you want to know the weight of he bike than add the pedals, I ride
flat pedals and they weight more than my clip pedals.

They're so many different pedals and some weight more than others.

I can understand quoting the as supplied weight, for a bike being sold sans pegs, but in a post yer ride thread quote it as ridden. Curb weight is with all additives, ready to drive, or as it sits at the curb. Tare weight is mass of vehicle, sans oil, coolant, fuel or any other fluids, lubricants.

Aren't they nuke proof electrons? You're right, they're not 340 grams... They're 338.

My clip pedals weight that much not the nukeproof, they're much more, not sure have to put them on a scale.
I looked online bout the clip pedals, I'm lazy to weight them, but doesn't make a big difference anyway.
