SG tire with no insert, and 27-29 psi, so far so good. Not even rim strikes. Felt like I lost something, but I forgot what that something is. Tried riding an old bike, and it felt flimsy and was stopping to see if the tire pressure was low due to squirm.

Minions over the Dissectors to save weight and add a cush core on the rear - Build Complete. Awesome riding.

I know that you are trying to save weight but I think peace of mind and knowing that you can bash your nice rims is amazing. CUSH CORE FTW.

The price drop made me sad. I had saved up a lot to get this bike as it was one I've had my eye on since the European release. I got an email from Canyon about the 125 price drop 3 months after my purchase but they denied me stating they only do 30 day price match. I really didn't expect the price to drop so soon and I would have waited the extra 3 months if I knew! Then I could have made these awesome upgrades too!

Some of the things which helped: Non plus components hubs - multi engagement rathet, ebike ready but significantly lighter than industry 9 (86g front 169g rear) Berd spokes. I built the wheels myself, though its not for the faint hearted but Berd can build your weels for you. the spokes would come down to 80g total and are lighter than water Enduro speced wheelset weights 1460g with ALU rims (to avoid the rockgarden experience you ve had) fox transfer SL post at 340g kcnc cassette at 320g, compatible with Eagle and has a more even stepping with a 9-52 range. Reminds me of the protottype AXS cassette Selle italia corbonio SLR, if you choose the correct shape the meager padding is actually sufficient (130g) I also got myself a 4iiii powermeter, but stuck to the xx1 crankset with absoluteblack oval chainring (420g) xx1 derailleur with Hopp carbon parts 200g and kcnc pulleys (this is way overboard and makes the derailleur more fragile plus is not a great value for money BTW) you could also save a lot by running lighter tyres, DHR/DHF combo with EXO skin save you some 200g compared to what your bike is wearing. You could save an additional 100g if you go DHr front and back and have only a 2.4 width on both, but you are compromising on rolling resistance and somewhat on downhill speed XTR SPD pedals with a titanium axle 260g, the axle is only 50 euros extra plus getting your hands dirty tubolito spare tube on the bike, 48g (people do carry spares, so this does count in. wolftooth toolset, chainbreaker and tubeles repair stowed away in the handlebars, 133g altogether Giant CO2 pump stowed away in the fork tube 133g On the road weight with a bottle of water (the 900ml fidlock) is 14.5kg, this is on a bike with 160mm front fox 36 and 150mm dxp2 back travel If I switched to a more recent frame, an extra 600g would be saved by that switch I could save another 300+g by switching brakes to trickstuff piccola with KCNC titanium rotors, (currently sram code R) In other words its achievable to have the 13.6kg with water, tools pump, spare tube, running tubeless with muckoff or stans, oon alu rims, tubeless repair kit with pedals on, lights on, co2 pump and a small handpump, but it requires a lot of DYI, but you will be able to get enduro spec on that weight and definitely upwards of an extra -1kg for a 125mm travel trail bike (fox 34 fork -500g, lighter tyres -300g, carbon rims -100g, lighter frame -400g)
