In two weeks I will be heading to Downieville to make my second attempt in the all-mountain class in the Downieville Classic. After Ashland 12, I will very make little changes to the S-works Stumpjumper in preparation for the two event weekend. Set up with a Specialized Command post, SRAM XX drivetrain and fresh Easton Haven wheels, the Stumpy is ready for the big show. Weighing in just a hair over 24 lbs, I'm aiming for solid reliability with "The Captain" 2.2" GRID tires along with a 1X10 shifting system. This bike is ready to float through the rock gardens, I just need to get it to the top of the mountain.
New rubber wraps Easton Havens Wheels
Small details. Specialized grips with integrated post drop lever, grip tape for added security.
10Spd SRAM XX drivetrain
Looking fast in red, ready to rip Derby Park and then some.

Is that a regular Specialized fork? Using a normal quick release?
Congrats on Downieville!
It's the S140 with the brain. It uses a 9mm QR which keeps the weight down at 3.6 lbs. The carbon crown and steer keeps the front end ridge despite current trends with 15mm and 20mm thru axles. Thanks!
Cool, that's my fork :) I've been looking into new wheels. Those havens look good but the Specialized wheels have that "OS28" oversized QR interface for the fork, not sure how useful that is.
