Show you the steps in replacing your wheelset on the Polygon Siskiu T8 (https://bikesonlineusa.sjv.io/T8) with the carbon rims from NOBL Wheels. This process is when you want to replace the wheels and hubs but still plan to keep your same drivetrain, which is the Shimano SLX. This process is not hard but if you've never done it before, it's nice to visually see someone else do the job before you take it on yourself. At least, that's how I am.

When I got the Large Siskiu T8 in stock form, it weighed 36.5 pounds. The tires and tubes were some of the heaviest parts on the bike. After switching out a few parts I had from a previous bike: handlebars, saddle and composite pedals... I switched out the tires for the lighter compound Maxxis Dissectors 2.4 and went tubeless. These changes dropped the weight down to 34 pounds. Still on the heavy side, but once I partnered with NOBL wheels and made the change to carbon rims I was able to drop another 1.5 pounds to get me to 32.5 pounds a total of 4 pounds lost! NOBL wheels have an "XC" wheelset which is another half pound lighter than my current enduro carbon wheels. If you really want to shave weight, they are options for you.
