2016 Emonda SL Rim Brake Build ****WITH PICS AND BUILD WEIGHT***

[ehlpitel]

Pictures to come in a day or two when it's done. Nothing too special- just another budget Emonda WW build- I foolishly bought this frame earlier this year completely unaware that only the SLR was touted as the world's lightest production frame. You can imagine my shock when I threw the frame on the scale and saw 1152 (though that's with the BB). I got pissed off and add to that the fact that QBP and Shimano are so ridiculously back-ordered that the Di2 stuff I wanted was taking forever to get to the shop I work at that I focused my attention elsewhere- a P3 aero road bike build (it's on here somewhere). Well, I finally got everything I needed to do the Di2 build and in the midst of that I also became a tubular convert- I also traded my Di2 6870 front mech towards a set of tubs- so I decided I was going 1x and sold my 6870 short cage rear mech and picked up a GRX RX817 rear mech. I'll write up a parts list with weights for everything I wrote down and I'll post pics when the build is complete and when I'm done mounting some tires on a set of 303 tubs I got. Soooo,

-2016 Emonda SL rim brake frame- 56CM: 1152 grams w/BB
-Cut fork: 346 grams
-Seat-post: 148 grams
-Pro Stealth AE clone: 255 grams (going to replace it with something lighter but I might be limited by the rail clamps)
-6770 shifters: 313 grams
-Internal battery: 52 grams
-GRX RX817 long cage rear derailleur: 322 grams
-R8000 spider and NDS crank arm weight: 522 grams
-Pass Quest 46T narrow-wide oval chainring: 113 grams
-SROAD 11-42 cassette: 315.6 grams
-Zipp 303- 10s and tubular: 1200 grams
-Reynolds DV 46UL-T- 11s and tubular: 1150 grams
-Zipp Tagente 23c tires: 280 grams (those are going on both the Zipps and on the rear Reynolds wheel)
-Continental Sprinter w/Black Chili compound: 280 grams (front tire for the Reynolds wheelset)
-Force brakes: 227 grams w/out pads (using the yellow SwissStop)
-Generic non-aero drop bars- 42cm: 177 grams
-Kalloy Uno -17 130mm stem: 133 grams
-PYC SP1101 11s chain- 237 grams

I weighed it for the hell of it with the clinchers that I'm setting the Di2 up on (while I'm waiting for the glue to cure on the tubs) and with my 38mm ICAN clinchers, it weighed 6.75kg/14.85lbs w/out pedals. So, with the Zipps or Reynolds on there and if I find a comfy/light saddle, I'm hoping to be in the low 14s w/out pedals and still just under 14 w/pedals. Sorry for the lack of build pics, but I'm doing this in my apt with the bike hanging in my bedroom pullup bar while my gf is sleeping (yes, I have the most understanding spouse on the planet lol) so any pictures I would've got probably would have sucked.

Looking forward to getting the tubs mounted and the Di2 dialed in since this is my first experience with Di2 in my life.

Will show final build pics with the Zipps and the Reynolds- will probably take the Zipp stickers off just because I think they're tacky and look like ass. Oh, the pedals I'll be running will either be Look Classic 3s, the China-Play pedals (I have a set, just need to install them and put the cleats in and give them a try) or some Xpedo Thrust pedals I have in my workshop at my folks' house.

Can't wait to take this thing for a ride- I'm actually nervous that I'll like it more than my P3- I'm really curious to see what feels faster and maybe even see which one actually IS faster.

EDIT: So without getting into the back story of why/how this happened- I managed to get a free 11-42 cassette from SROAD and it weighs 315.6 grams!

Overall weight with pedals and ZIpp 303 tubs is 6.75kgs/14.9lbs and 6.5kgs/14.3lbs- and that's with relatively heavy tires- not my lightest set of tubs and a 255 gram saddle!

Now some pics- some of the pics are with my ICAN clinchers, some are with my Zipp tubs and one is with one of each (reasons....)
