BIG time weight savings by changing out the fork!!!

Stock fork = 5.80
Marz 44 = 4.44
Weight Savings = 1.36

Estimated weight after fork change = 30.10 - 1.36 = 28.74

I think your just looking of reasons to play with the scale

[Sal-XK]

Matt, where did you get the scale? I'll need to start weighing gear and stuff now.

Thanks man, it's $10 in shipping going to see what one in store costs when I go in.

Damn man you need to sign up for Prime. Free 2 day shipping... that scale cost me less than $13 shipped when I ordered.

Snagged a wheelset off a NJ bike forum!!

I'll be picking them up in a few hours. They're the same wheels I have on my bike... Easton Haven 29 UST
For $350, I could not turn them down.... they normally cost more than we spend on Jeep wheels

[Matt]

Dropped another 1.36 lbs!! (kind of funny how that worked out)





Stock wheelset = 5.32
Haven wheelset = 4.02
(1.30, the extra .06 was from using less sealant inside)

I weighed my bike its 33 LBS
