Just put a new carbon seat post and bare carbon seat on it and just cracked 23.9lbs. As light as I think it will get without a carbon wheelset.
I rode RRs on my 29er and they always felt sketchy in the corners. They wear out quick too as you discovered. Weight isn't everything.

For me it's huge. I look forward to this all year. Yesterday my boy Cadel just didn't have it. Looks like its going to be a big year for the British

It would be sweet to see the us guy TJ finish good!!! Time trial is not all that exciting to me, the huge hills will be fun to watch ... Never been a fan before but I am really enjoying it this year.

So my bike was not holding the bottom 2 gears on the rear cassette, ugh. Replaced the chain didn't help, now I ordered a new cassette for it... It's only in the bottom 2, it's as if the previous owner rode in those two gears all the time... Glad I only paid $500 otherwise I might be pissed

It could be that the teeth got worn out. New cassette will solve the issue
