My 54cm model (w/ Crank Brothers Egg Beater SL pedals installed – 266grams) weighs 21lbs 7oz. For those who’ve adopted the metric system, that’s 9.71kg – and the EggBeater SL’s weigh 266grams/9.38oz – making the true ‘out of the box’ weight 8.9kg 9.44kg or 20lbs 13oz.
CRUX COMP DISC FRAME
For 2012, Specialized offers their Crux in five complete builds, two with disc and three with cantilevers, as well as two frameset options. The Crux E5 OSBB Disc frameset (used on my review bike) weighs 2640 grams while the traditional Crux E5 OSBB frameset weighs 2586 grams. Nic Sims from Specialized provided these weights as well as the weight for the two complete bikes – 20.8 lbs for my disc bike vs 20.0 lbs for the Comp Apex model. These figures are reassuring showing a majority of the added weight comes from the Avid BB7 brakes and wheels rather than the frame/fork as some might expect.
My Comp Disc model is spec’d with Sram Apex shifters, derailleurs, and 11-28 cassette, KMC’s X10 CP chain and FSA supplies their Gossamer BB30 crank fitted with 36/46 rings. Specialized uses their own Specialized branded 27.2 seatpost, Comp-Set stem and modern bend alloy bars. The wheels are straight forward, labeled as Specialized Axis CXD, with Specialized Tracer Sport 700×33 tires mounted. As mentioned, the stopping is taken care of by Avid BB7 ‘road’ disc brakes.
Yes, the disc frames have 135mm rear hub spacing.
