Couldn't get the chain quick link off so cut that off.
Frames had a good clean and check over now, as the asshat i stupidly lent my BB spanner too has gone quiet...... so i can't refit the BB yet......... so i got the scales out instead :)
Weight Weenies look away.
Diacompe CB2 headset 106g (claimed weight) weighed bits to guess weight of cups in frame.
Surly cast stainless steel seat post clamp 40g
V-brake studs x4 40g
Fork 1098g
18" Frame 2440g
So thats around 7.7lb for frame and fork, can't say i have ever really noticed the weight and it rides it well.
Might have to weigh the old wheels against the new ones now and everything else, i am sure the deore cranks i got are a fair bit lighter than the Truvativ Hussfelts i was using, the wheels should be lighter, but adding 1x9 gears and disc brakes so weights just moving around, not that you buy a Surly if you have weight worries anyway :)
