Making our lightweight XC bikes EVEN LIGHTER

Today we're trying to make our cross-country race bikes AS LIGHT AS POSSIBLE without sacrificing reliability, function and the descending capabilities that we love.

The new stuff:
Wheels: Stan's Podium SRD rims laced with Berd polymer spokes on Shimano XTR 12-speed hubs (Berd sells wheels but can also replace your spokes with Berd spokes. If you're interested, you can use the code "sydandmacky" for 10% off anything on the site: https://bit.ly/3McE2rR)
Dropper post: Fox Transfer SL (https://bit.ly/3cKFByt)
Brakes: Shimano XTR M9100 (https://bit.ly/3RxyiJL)
Saddle: Velo Senso TT+ carbon (https://bit.ly/3APWMXb)
Pedals: Xpedo M-Force 8 (https://bit.ly/3wVEzGP)
Bottom bracket: Enduro Bearings XD15 (https://bit.ly/3AMQM1u)
