MSC Koncept Carbon Di2 - 6965g/15.35lbs

[tonytourist]

Are you 1x10 now, or have regular shifting for the front?

[krzysiekmz]

It's 2x10. Up front is still Record 10s QS.

1 x 10 would be a little bit offensive with a 27-11 cassette. With the K-edge Di2 RD and a 36-11 cassette, I would mind a single ring up front

[krzysiekmz]

It is an 11-32 cassette with 42-27 rings up front. Have not missed a shift yet with Di2 nor charged the battery in olmost 3 months. Recently got a new front derr. from a forum member. BTP Campy Record and modded it to top pull.

[krzysiekmz]

Did some further modifications recently and the bike now has full Di2 drivetrain and internal wiring/battery. This included drilling 2 holes in the frame and a lot of soldering. Current weight is a bit over 7300g or 16lbs.



What's next?

What's next?

A <900gr tubular wheelset?

[krzysiekmz]

Yes this is the next thing but, a bit overkill for my riding and tubular may be somewhat trouble in MTB riding and not strictly racing...

Also, a lot of $$$, so I am thinking of a budget 29er build (maybe road) to try something new.

Well, not a 29er nor a road bike has happened in the meantime...

Not a recent pic but an overall update:

Awesome, I love it. How does it handle, and are the brakes with those rotors ok? Is it the AX saddle shape from Berk?

[krzysiekmz]

It handles great and is the best bike I've had. Recent wheel change contributes to this a lot, but I must say Dugast tires are much better than Tufo, which are a bit too narrow as well. To me they lack cornering grip. Frame isn't the stiffest but quick and complaint.

Still have not had a good chance to test the rotors. Rear is great but front was terribly noisy and just took it off. So so brake power too... I already have different pads so I'll experiment soon.

Berk combo is based on the Ax Lightness saddle. One of the best purchases too

I bet that bike rides like a dream being so light !
From the aesthetic side I would have set the saddle slightly more back.
But nevertheless.. awesome bike, congratulations !!

[andreszucs]
