Well, I guess the Superlight heard all the whispering about me getting rid of her so she decided to show me who was boss at the Race on Sunday. I have never had so many mis-shifts and ghost shifting in my life. I would be going all out in the middle ring, small rear and all of a sudden it would drop to the small front. The rear would just shift whenever it wanted. That last race in the mud really did some damage to my poor drivetrain. I still ended up with an 11th place finish so I can live with that. I was shooting for a top ten, I guess 11th is close enough.

Anyway, here is the initial build for the Truth, I'm hoping it will come in at under 24.5 pounds.

Magura Marta SL brakes
SRAM X-9 trigger shifters w/ cables
XT front derailleur
SRAM X.0 rear derailleur
XT cassette (11-34)
SRAM chain (think it's pc69)
American Classic ISIS bb
FSA Carbon Pro crankset
Hugi 240 hubs
Mavic 317 rims
XT quick releases
Stans no-tubes
Continental Explorer & Escape tire
Thomson stem & seatpost
Fizik Gobi saddle
FSA K-force low rise carbon bar
Scott foam grips (going to give them a try)
FSA Orbit Xtreme Pro
Crank brothers Candy SL pedals
