One more tiny update, this weekend has been rainy so instead of riding I've been working on bikes. Well, just the Denali. The Sovereign needs a little attention too, the second water bottle cage I added is loose because the screws keep backing out. Easy fix, just need to find larger metal screws.

But anyway, today I did some further weight reduction and re-arranging of equipment.

The love affair with the stock Denali seat continues. I have one on my Sovereign, and I took the spare I had in storage (from a friend's Denali) and put it on the Denali today. I honestly cannot find anything to complain about the seat, now that my butt is broken in and used to a real bike seat, which it wasn't to begin with. It's significantly lighter than the Serfas seat that was previously on there.

I also removed the kickstand with the intention of putting it on the Sovereign, which, being heavy, needs it much more than the Denali. The bolt size is slightly different so I'll need to address that issue, but it fits perfectly in place.

Also, I had a spare mount for the taillight on the Sovereign, so I put it on the Denali to save time switching taillights. Just move the light from one bike to the other now, instead of having to swap the batteries to a new light.

That's pretty much it. I did a weigh-in of the Denali today just to measure it's progress. Stock is 29 pounds I believe, and today's weigh in put the bike right at about 24 pounds. Not bad. There are plenty of other good sources of potential weight loss. I don't think it would be hard at all to get this bike under 20 pounds. Whether or not I'll actually do that is another question entirely.

Looking forward to my next ride.
