andretraut Posted May 10, 2010 Share I have placed my one week old Merida Scultura 905 Com on an instant weight loss program, and the results are great! Replaced the stock Vittoria Rubino tyres (305g per piece) with Vittoria Open Corsa (230g per piece) as well as lighter tubes, and no rim tape. But the true weight reduction was achieved by replacing the Alex Road Aero and Ultegra hub wheel set with a pair of Mavic Ksyrium SL Red (1485g per set). Dropped the standard weight of 8.1kg to 7.4kg. This wheel set not only looks great and saves weight, but is as stiff as a honeymoon horn on 'v' and rolls really well. The moral of the story...I am content with the expenses, and my baby lost 700g in one day.....biggest loser!

Wannabe Posted May 10, 2010 Share Well done. You'll enjoy that wheelset. I have the SSC SL's that I use as racing wheels. No complaints about them either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndreZA Posted May 10, 2010 Share Look carbon Blades would shed a few more grams. If that seatpost is a FSA250 you can loose a bit there aswell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
