Cyclocross Spec Kona Kula

Have changed a couple of things on my Kona Kula XC race bike to try and make it a bit lighter and more efficient for cyclocross...
  • New wheelset - Hope Hoops SP-XC6 - 24 hole Stans ZTR Crest rims on Hope Pro III hubs (1463g)
  • Schwalbe CX Pro tyres
  • 160mm Alligator rotors (70g x 2)
  • Trigon carbon rigid fork (480g)
Net effect is a totally rigid bike that now weighs in at just 18.5lbs (down from 21.5lbs in XC spec) so I'll test it tomorrow and see how it goes and if all goes well I'll race it in Truro on Sunday...stay tuned :)
