#102: More bike building…

Filed under: Equipment — Ryan @ 6:39 pm

Well, I got my SRAM Red groupo on Thursday. Building it up and riding it will have to wait however, since I won’t get my Felt FC until late next week. So for now, all I can do it weigh it and imagine…

  • Red Crank: 640g    RedCrankset
  • Red FD: 70g  RedFD
  • Red RD: 146g RedRD
  • Red Shifters: 160g ea. RedShifter1
  • Red brakeset: 135g ea. RedBrakes

    Looking up some weights they are listed as:

    • Crank: 660g
    • FD: 58g
    • RD: 153g
    • Shifters: 145g ea (w/o cables)
    • Brakes: 132g ea.

    It is funny how some are higher, some are lower…..At the same time, I bought the Ultegra 10 drivedrain used from Andrea since she recently upgraded to SRAM Red herself. I am putting in on my Trek (after giving the frame a good wash and wax, long overdue) and got started on the upgrade tonight. Here is how far I got….

    I also washed up all my wheelsets… I definitely have a lot of training wheelsets…

    …and a crowded, cluttered workspace….

    …but it works for me….
