The HR measurement is not bad on the Apple Watch. I have a medical condition and I’m connected up to HR monitors of various types at various points of my hospital visits. The Apple Watch always matches them.

True dat. ?

From oxidation and potentially corrosion but that really was why I asked the question to see how minimal it’s possible to go.

Excellent and thanks!

I’m really loving this thread. Thanks for posting so much detail. After you’ve done the brushed finish how do you protect the raw alu?

Looks like there’s around 500g in rotating weight to be saved for wheels (and around 250g for cassette) without even resorting to XC wheels.

There’s quite a lot of potential in the Comp Carbon to build a pretty light bike.

I’d really like to know that too. @p3eps and @73Steff while you guys are upgrading stuff would you get a chance to weigh?

However it’s in epoxy and conductivity changes whether in plane of the carbon fibre or across it. Happy to be corrected though. Here is the link, see table. Carbon Fiber Properties-Heat Conductivity

I don’t think you can upgrade as I looked around for this. Willing to be corrected though. If you want the adjustment it’s a 36 (or Lyrik).

The fork on the Expert is a Performance isn’t it? This is GRIP based (Performance and Rhythm) rather than FIT4 (Performance Elite and Factory). The FIT4 in the Elite/Factory does have some adjustment of the compression balance but not separate HSC and LSC like the 36. The Performance doesn’t...

I’m getting the impression that the level of assistance is set conservatively as the default on the SL to allay battery range fears. To keep up with the full fat riders could this not be turned up? You had range to spare after all.

There’s also this option for the Expert: https://www.garbaruk.com/12-speed-xd.html

That’s neat. I potentially have the single bike version of this rack BNIB for sale. DM me if interested.

700-800g is the normal Levo difference (Alu to m9 Carbon/alu rear triangle) but I’d forgotten that the SL is m11 and full Carbon. Maybe the difference is 1000g after all.

You might struggle on the forks and brakes. That would be functional (edit: as you say) rather than weight as the regular, not e-bike, 34 Rhythm isn’t that heavy. The cassette is heavy so you could save there or use the 10 speed SLX or XT setup that @Gary recommends. It’s light and I think fits...

SL Weight Diff Carbon/AL? - EMTB Forums

Same pedals?

On the SL Carbon models it must just act as a stone guard then rather than to deflect moisture as on the regular carbon Levos.

If you rode with the extender in all the time you miss 1/4 of the 4kg advantage in weight. Just saying.
