What is a significant weight difference on a MTB?
Just looking at specs and geometry on a few bikes compared to mine and I noticed that from a geometry perspective some much more expensive bikes have the EXACT same geometry. Yes there are more expensive components but those can be upgraded, and then I look at weight and while my bike is right around 30 pounds stock, some bikes triple the price are 28 pounds stock. I thought well, new wheels, shock and some carbon bits and I could drop 2 pounds...maybe more...then I thought...would I REALLY notice it? I bet lighter wheels will be noticeable because its rotating mass. Anything else...I'm curious about.
