V1 Ross's extended city, easy entry Goblin- 06 SS/SC, NW Arkansas

[Ross]

I thought my 295s we’re big what are those 325s?

In the video it mentions they are 275mm. Your 295s are wider. Jermey found a good price on these.

JERMzSS - any issues keeping heat in them?

Jermey mentioned to me that he has never got them up to temperature, so, yes, if you have a light car, it is an issue getting them up to temp. On the bright side, they are still sticky when cold.

Yes that's correct ive never really had the chance yet to see what they can do. They are 275s i think the wheels kinda make them look a little bigger than they are.

One good thing I've noticed with our cars is the sun really helps bring the tires up to temperature. Im gona monitor these pretty close to see how they heat up and cool down between rounds.

The 2 times i took these out they were already out performing my other tires even tho they were cold (60ish degrees). I highly recommend 200 tread wear and down on the goblins.

Guess how much my frame weighs? I will reveal my frame weight tomorrow, and we will see whose guess is closest. It is a stripped down, even took the cover off the center tunnel, no paint, city frame, easy entry, extended length. I didn't want to unbend the the clutch and brake line, so those are included in the weight, but they are only ounces in weight. The bathroom scale is a strain gauge, which is pretty accurate.

Am I allowed to guess?

Also, you can remove the lines without altering their shape. If you pop the clutch line out of the tunnel and over toward the passenger side you should be able to snake it out of the front of the chassis. You'll have to rotate it around to get it through the bars at the front and between the lower fuel tank rail and the rear floor tube but you won't have to bend or unbend it at all.

I vote yes lol

263.2lbs is my guess

 

[Ross]

Sure Adam. I am guessing you have weighed a few before, but I'm curious how much the weight changes based on the options. How much does a track frame add? 12 pounds? Extended frame, 8 pounds? Easy entry saves 1 pound?

 

[Ross]

I vote yes lol

263.2lbs is my guess

My scale does weigh to the nearest tenth of a pound...

 

[Desert Sasqwatch]

Ross,
I'm new to the forum and just getting started in the DFG adventure, but I would like to guess 247lbs.

[Briann1177]

There's no way it's even close to 250 lbs. I could be way off or just stronger than I think. My vote is closer to 200 lbs. My official answer is 205.

 

[Adam]

Does it have the radiator mount structure on it?

 

[Tony]

Same thought as Brian - I was gonna guess 198.

 

[Ross]

Does it have the radiator mount structure on it?

No. I left it off. Just the frame, no bolts, rivets, or paint. It does have the light oil coating on it that the metal company sells it with.

 

[JERMzSS]

1 pound Bob...

 

[JeffsGoblin]

My guess is 187 pounds. Two guys can lift it fairly easily.

 

[ctuinstra]

I was thinking the same thing, easy for two people. I'm in at 175.

 

[IDRVSLO]

219

 

[Karter2026]

179

 

[Briann1177]

So what is the weight? The suspense is killing me.

 

[ctuinstra]

179

Hey Herb Stempel!! What do you think this is, The Price is Right?!
