Weight: Avid HS-1 Rotor 180mm

While my bike don't experience any upgrades, I post some information about some component's weight.
Avid HS-1 (HS1) 180mm rotor weight is about 135gr. It is 15 grams lighter than stock Avid G2CS rotor of my Norco Sight.
I don't like how HS-1 rotor looks like, that's why I will install it  on my training wheelset.

      And monarch RL weight is 60gr lighter than our R. Where did they managed to leave 60gr of metal?? Rockshox forces us to spend our money for better shock. I allways thought that any air shock without a piggyback had a weight close to 200gr. I was wrong.

      My Specialized BigHig 2010 was 5kg with a shock )
      Extra weight of Norco Sight will give extra strength, and this is good for me.

    Thank you, for this video! It will help me one day to rebuild my shock.
    This guy wanted faster rebound and faster compression. The same thing with my rebound, cause I use one click from the fastest setting, and more clicks will be too sloooow. But I feel a lack of compression in my shock, that's why I don't need to take off compression shims.

      I will be using stock shock until It is working properly. Yes, it has some weight, but it is rather expensive to change the shock.

    Have you looked for a dropper seatpost yet? Stealth Reverb new costs about 250- 270 usd

      I can't afford dropper post now. It also can add some weight to my bike, that's why I'm not gonna by it during this season.
