Slight update, picked up a cheap set of XT brakes and IspecB shifters, so fitted those up a couple of weeks ago. Currently my usual bike for Lysterfield:

Rides pretty well with the shorter stem, but i think i need to tune the tyre pressures a bit, some of the climbs get a bit squirrelly. Will have to learn to climb properly I think.
Got around to weighing it in the current incarnation:

11.6kg, so a bit heavier than i thought it would be, albeit with heavier Airwave tubes, pedals and bottle cage.
Starting to consider weenieing it out a bit more too. First thing to go will the the big ring, and just go 2x up front. I don’t find myself using the 44T for my type of riding anyway.
The Jetblack Rockets arent tubeless atm, would need rim strips etc, so i won’t do that just yet, although ill consider it if i find a set of 26″ rim strips cheap.
Any other suggestions for cheap and easy weenie?
