Did you weigh the fork at 287g? That's a lot lighter than the fork on my Z5, I'm jealous!

It's a Z5 SLI, so it has the lighter Enve 1.0 fork IIRC.

That frame looks so much better with no gumwalls!

I'll deal with the gum walls when the tires are some of the lightest decent riding tires you can get :evil:

Very nice. I wanted a Z5SLi but I got a deal on a ESX. Same carbon layup and geometry, so I went for it.

I tuned it by taking out the inner sleeve and noise reduction rings. I regret it as it shifts poorly :? :?


Pardon my ignorance, but has the poor shifting something to do with your tuning? Any details on what you exactly did?

He took the center spacer out of the 1190 which saves a couple grams, but if you torque the lockring to spec the whole cassette squishes down a bit because the spacer is gone and throws the indexing off a bit. When you take a cassette that doesn't shift great to begin with and make the shifting even poorer, it gets pretty bad.

I've got a M/L (56) Z5 I'm probably putting up for sale soon if anyone knows anyone who might be interested:
