    Done with the latest upgrade. Changed my drivetrain to XTR gruppo, except for the cogs (XT) and RD (Shadow XT). I used Alligator Windcutter 8" for rotors. After all the upgrades I did the past 2 weeks, I managed to bring down the weight of my bike by around 4lbs. Using our digital bathroom scale, I weighed the bike at around 14.4kgs.

    Here's the final spec of my bike:

    07 Jamis XAM2 frame with Fox DHX Air 5.0 rear shocks
    07 Rockshox Revelation Coil
    07 XTR Cranks
    07 XTR FD
    07 XTR Shifters
    07 XTR Hydro disc brakes with 8" Alligator Windcutter Ti rotors
    08 XT Shadow RD
    08 XT Cogs
    Shimano DuraAce chain
    08 XT WH-775 Wheelset
    Kenda Nevegal 2.1 Tires
    Giant inner tubes
    Truvativ Team Carbon riserbar
    Truvativ XR Stem
    Thomson Elite Seatpost
    Selle Royal Xsenium Gel Saddle
    Specialized Body Geometry grips
    VP Components platform pedals

    Will try the Nevegal front + SB8 rear combo tomorrow. Luckily, one of my fellow biker have a set of SB8s that I can try.

    Yes, Avid BB7 ang dati kong brakes. I installed it in my hardtail. All the old components from my FS bike were all transferred to my hardtail.

    I tried the Nevegal front & SB8 rear tire combo this afternoon. There's noticeable difference when riding through loose sand. The SB8 doesn't slip, whereas when I used Nevegal sa rear, gumegewang ako.

    Since our tuesdays is light trailing only, yan palang ang nakita kong difference. Will see sa next trailing if I can bike faster
