Man with no name Posted November 28, 2006 Share All, What advice can you give me to make my supposedly light road bike lighter? I'm thinking specifically stem, seatpost, handlebar (all Ritchey Comp at the moment). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason Posted November 29, 2006 Share You can also try changing those bottle cages... they make carbon ones now... You'll save close to 2kg's if you take the current ones off... What are they made out of? Titanic Metal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gumpole Posted November 29, 2006 Share swop your wheels for american classics to save 150g... then swop them back for the zipps and you will be over the weight worries. lightweight crankset would be my advice if you are gonna spend $$ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bikemonster Posted November 29, 2006 Share If you really want to save weight, crankset and pedals are prolly where you can make the best value changes, and they are rotating parts, as a bonus. That said, your bike is at the level where weight saving is more about bragging rights than performance improvement. Diminishing marginal returns.
