@GideonPARANOID
Calculated weight is just below 8,8 kg - I know the money pit feeling...@Heldring
Well it is not stock, but still an original Dirty Kanza livery. It is sure an eye-catcher. -
Latest "final" upgrades are:
1199 cassette (-120g)
Xpedo m force 8 pedals (another -120g)
Its not even a WW build, I should really stop spending more on this bike. -
Just went trough the HRD apex 1 -> HRD Force 1 upgrade, and my friend is running HRD Rival 1
-There is rather significant step up from apex to rival in terms of the rear mech. Then the force mech is marginally faster / lighter on its own. However using a XD driver with the full pin cassette after the standard shimano/sram sprocket is yet another jump.
Serious gram saving can be achieved here, the low end 1130 11-42T cassette is 540g while the top 1199 is only 270. Also the XD driver is lighter.-Brakes are technically the same, levers itself are alu -> alu+reach adj. -> carbon+rach adj. Calipers are different a bit, saving a few grams only. Didn't notice any difference in braking power.
-On the Apex the crank spider is integrated and alu. Rival is still alu but with swap-able spider, force is carbon (and the same as the Force 22, only the livery is different)
-
New groupset (Force 1) , cockpit (procraft) and seat post collar (Ti from ali) are equiped. Also bought a KMC X11SL because of bling, but probably will use it only after winter is over.
If i think about it, aside from the frame itself, the BB and the headset, I've changed everything on the bike.
Also this is the first winter ever I pedal trough. I've excepted it to be a lot worse. (OK, snow still sucks). -
360 eur

Looking for these handlebars, so... ?

Sram Force 1x groupset bought. Not sure why tho.
Well I think tire size and geo matters just as much as plain weight in the "lively feeling".
And speaking of prices, pedals might not be cheap, but at least those are not required to be changed after 3-4k miles like the cassette does. Plus I bought 'em used.
