My carbon Mukluk is shockingly light. BUT:
- I have helicopter tape all over it to prevent bikepacking bags from abrading the clearcoat.
- It has small chips and contusions in multiple places that I can't remember how they got there - and I've babied it.
- It's started making creaking noises that I can't track down.
- It won't fit 5" tires, which sadly, I'll need on the kind of riding I'm aspiring to do.
I'm swapping it out for a heavier, more durable metal frame.
Low weight has a price that goes beyond just the monetary cost.
