So, I’ve been doing a ton of upgrade options, bbso2/bbshd
and decided to try something else..
lighter rims
lighter tires ( Tubeless ) low resistance
aluminum sprocket 58t ?
all the above i believe would be approximately 2.5 lbs min.
dead weight directly off the drivetrain.. 3.5 if you remove kickstand. conservatively.
performance crank maybe a little more, along with 52 volt battery, I think would be a tremendous improvement especially for light riders.
I’m a 130 lbs rider, so stock it zips right up to 25, does need a taller top end, but with lighter drivetrain i believe handling and quickness would improve.. thoughts ??
