I however am very normal. Trust me.
Get chops to weigh it, he'll make 16kg appear on the scales.
Can you run the seat pole high enough to actually sit down and pedal effectively? Or is a it slack in the STA to make that not matter?

I don't really have much of an understanding of pedalling efficiently...but I don't think it would be possible with this frame. The seat angle is rather slack.
Not sure if you saw my pedal upgrade? Halved my pedal weight just by switching! Hit a rock today pretty hard, a minor mark on the pedal body and no loss of performance. I'm pleased.
I've ordered some genuine chops' scales online from the chop shop a week ago. I'm waiting for delivery. They are certified accurate!

Old tip for reducing weight further, weigh without pedals.

Really? This must be one of those things that is so obvious, I totally overlooked it. Can I weigh it without the seat? I generally ride seatless anyway.

That is a report I've heard quite a lot. This has not been my experience. Mine are totally stock from my old glory and have had their fair share of being thrashed. Yet they are still running true and ding free. For comparison I have put a nasty ding in my Mavic 729 by hitting a root. That was very disappointing. Despite my size and plow style, I tend to be pretty kind to my rims.

Big ride today at the quarry of death. Stepped my game up a bit and hit the 2 biggest gaps there. Something I hadn't done for a long time, it felt very good. Still a long way from attempting the hip to step down. I get dizzy looking at it.
Smaller of the 2 gaps:
Bike is pure butter. Im very happy.

A well built pile of dirt over logs...about 1m high and off the side of a tree.

You can't even see them in the pic, I tucked them away.
Jump is easier than it looks (though it has claimed a fair number of riders) due to excellent trail building. There's a steep run in with a long step down before it. If you can't clear the prior jump...you won't make this one. So a few warm up runs and it's just a matter of lifting the front wheel over that wooden safety.
Then sprinting into the next jump.

Funny you should mention ducks. There is a jump on location with a small transfer to right that involves high jumping a mound of dirt (about 30-40cm above kicker), long jumping about 3m, and tweaking 45/50deg left for the landing, while not hitting the tree that is rather close to the kicker. I had a few close calls yesterday where I ducked the tree and fudged up the high jump!

I took the big rig to the big smoke today for a ride. It was overkill for the trails, but it was a lot of fun! Holy shit it was hot. Im not sure on the legitimacy of the locationbso won't name it, there was great views though!
I was pretty pleased with this one! Used a lot of travel after sending it.

Nice boosting!
You still had some to spare on the bottoming out because you know it's close when you almost lose your teeth from the whip lash.

With the Easter long weekend practically here and nothing to do except ride and eat, I am very pleased to have freshly serviced forks! This bad boy has been off line since just before Christmas. I can't wait to get on it this weekend. If everything goes smoothly I'll be taking it to the quarry of death on good Friday...
