Hmmm... they look very like the old SRAM before they went to bleeding edge, same one used to bleed Reverbs.
I'll have a look.

That is it ! Final piece fitted today, 258g an end (before cutting the hoses to length) Formula Cura brakes.
The Deore M6120 Quad pistons that came off were 334g and 342g so nearly 200g saved in brakes, the other drop was the 260g Ti Spindle CHIME ATAC pedals.
Might swap the Deore 12spd shifter for an XT sometime in the future if one becomes available and a decent price.
Not much left of the original bike, only the frame, forks, shock, dropper and shifter.
Final resting weight is 11.3kg on the head.

Great job, bike looks fabulous. Although the shed is wonky AF.
Curious if you ever got a frame only weight for the Spur? Also curious if you think this was cost effective in the end to buy the complete bike given all the part changes? And WTF are these CHIME pedals?

The original Deore bike cost me $6999, the GX level bike was $8999 and the X0 was $11999. I reckon its cost me just over 10K to build it this way and its lighter and has arguably better parts than the 12K X0 model.
The X0 does have the Ultimate fork and shock... its only a damper upgrade difference from Select+ to the race-day damper.
I have rode TIME pedals for nearly 15yrs now and my boys ride them too now. We must have 15-20 sets pedals between us.
Aliexpress has a set of rip off Ti XC12 for $100... I grabbed a set to see how they were, cant find any difference to the XC8 carbons. I have a pair of XC8's with a bent spindle so worst scenario, I get a set of Ti spindles to rebuild the XC8's... and a set of cleats.

To be honest, I didn't have a plan. I thought I would like a Spur but didn't really have time to think when they appeared on the website.
In reflection afterwards (I already posted on here somewhere), the Deore Spur I bought was $6999, the frame only option was $5099, I got the fork and dropper also, so about $6500 worth of what I needed anyway, the rest of the bike cost $499.
My boys have grabbed the derailleur and brakes, I have spare wheels, cassette, saddle, bars, stem, bb, crankset ect... though have a home for some of them too.
It actually worked out the most cost effective way as I got to ride it from day one and change the parts as they became available.
Not sure if many other manufacturers price a frame only option close to a full build. Yeti certainly do not with their 11k GX builds

Yep, a lot of times GT run out models are a lot cheaper than buying a frame only option.To be honest, I didn't have a plan. I thought I would like a Spur but didn't really have time to think when they appeared on the website.

Very happy so far.
The reach was at full extension and I couldn't be bothered dismantling my spares pack to bring it the lever closer, modulation starts from when the lever is pulled which is a great new feel compared to the bit of slack on Shimanos.
Now got the lever adjusted in and the calipers centred.
The hose shortening was a breeze and all the bits were included.
Great price and weight at $300 a set.
Nice, so many brake choices now and all seem to be good. So bike complete or still some tweaks to go?

Done ! Not fussed about the Deore shifter, it feels pretty much the same as the XT without the rubberised paddles and multi upshift.
My goal was to get it to the $15K AXS Spur weight of 11.2kg without pedals, its well down there without sacrificing ability. Should be 11.04kg without the 260g pedals so well happy.
Running semi XC tyres too, will swap the front for a Martello or Agarro when stock arrives. Still 750g 2.35 Barzos fitted so not lightweight.
