Last time I checked the seatpost and the seattube I found this:



The tube delaminated inside. It's not really a crack, just the inner layers of carbon came off. On the outside you can't see anything.
Since then I competed in one more race and nothing changend. So might be allright. But I'm not happy with it though. Someone else got that too??

Thanks 

No, I don't have the Eagle.. I thought about buying it, but the 11 speed XTR rear derailleur is much lighter than the XX1 or the Eagle rear derailleur and the performance of shifting is more precise as I experienced.
The 10 - 42 teeth X01 cassette works for me as well. In downhills I am often too scared to go faster on loose or slippy gravel, so it doesn't really matter anyway. In climbs it is also easier to make up time, so I focus more on good climbing performance.
Maybe for a future full suspension bike, I will go for the Eagle Still not found the perfect frame/brand.

Depends on where you live, I would say.. For Germany and the neighbour countries there is this great website: http://www.jedermanntermine.de/

For the first races it might be good to start in the back rows, because in the front there is always so much rush due to adrenaline and testosterone And of course there are races without clocking, so you kind of have the feeling of a race, but the riders a bit more calm.
Prepare the bike, spares and your gear the evening before the race. Have a good breakfast.. don't try new energy gels or bars during the race... Drink enough, but not too much, depending on the temperature. There is nothing more stupid than having to stop, because you have drunk too much and have to pee 
Know your comfort zone, in that you can ride long and don't overpace in the beginning.
Everything depens a little bit on the distance you want to ride..

For me there is no better bike at the moment. I would totally recommend.
I've been riding it now for 3500 km and I've never had any problems with it so far. Also in race action.

The problem with the rear axle the youtuber talks about, I can't confirm. But I changed my rear axle for a Shift Up anyway for the weight .
The dropouts haven't been a problem, too. For me, with 65 kg the frame is stiff enough. I think you would feel the flex of the wheelset before the flex of the frame when pedalling hard.
The chiner frame I had before the 062 was crap in comparison..

And of course you can build it very (not 21 lbs  )  light This one comes at 7,9 kg or 17,4 lbs with a 1155 g frame with a bb30 bottom bracket.

The brakes are more in between. But they work for me as they are.

I have two toolbags. One is by Vaude and the other is a tube bag by Schwalbe.

Some update:

Got a new fork. It's a Rock Shox SID Brain World Cup 90 mm. Originally the lowers were for quick release. I made an hybrid-fork out of my 15 mm thru axle Reba (also 90 mm travel) and the SID. Works great so far. A few grams will drop on the fork since I will get the Rebound and Compression dials made of carbon
As expander for the Ahead-Cap I use the tune GumGum. Low wheight and still full function.
Almost forgot that I changed the pedals too. Now I use the Crankbrothers Eggbeater 11. I used them some time ago and was pretty content with them. So here they are again

New wheigt as seen on the picture: 7,905 kg

That's a Kitfox Vixen Series 5 Speedster with a Rotax 912 engine. Obviously it's a kit plane, built 20 years ago by my father and is still flying (my father and the plane  )
The wings can be folded and by that the plane goes into our garage, which was basically built around the plane.. With a tow-bar the plane gets pulled to the airport a few kilometers away 

And Yes: The seats are made from original Lufthansa leather 

That Ring is from Garbaruk (Ukraine). They have a lot of different colors and sizes for all kind of cranks. I love the design and the chain holds on it like glue.

Other changes I made: X01 Cassette, gives me a wider range with 10-42 teeth (In addition to the 36t chainring) and a new chain from KMC.
And finally I found a saddle that fits.. Pro Falcon Carbon with 146 grams.

Next things to be done: New wheelset, most likely Acros A-wheel with 1250 g and the Fox Stepcast fork 

Got a new saddle (109 g) with a light padding. The other carbon saddle was a little bit too hard.



I also switched to Rocket Ron (a heavy one..  495 g) on the rear, cause the tread of the Thunder Burt was almost gone.. The main reason by the way is, that on the rear wheel a spoke nipple broke at the exit of the rim. This happened on a climb when I pushed the pedal very hard.. Too hard for the DT Swiss aluminum 



Weight did not change.. 8435 g

Hope I can ride again soon.. On a 180 km road ride last week I fell on my left side on the tarmac @30 km/h
