Fine for riding alone but a bit more challenging trying to keep up with skinny climbers on 24# XC machines.
like I said, WAG. Probably an optimistic WAG. I think my old S-works XC bike was 22. Wheels are the same weight essentially, frame is probably 3 lbs heavier, fork is probably .5 lb heavier. So maybe more like 25.5 or 26.
