I just went 1x8 over the weekend and dropped .70 lbs from my bike (09 Rockhopper). I didn't think I'd feel the weight difference, but I did, and want more!
My current fork is an 09 Rockshox Dart 3. It looks like if I shell out about 400-500$ I can shave a pound off of my fork.
But that's a lot of money and I was thinking maybe I could replace my wheel set first. I don't know how much my current wheel set weighs, so I don't know how much weight I would save.
Any recommendations? Will I save more weight per dollar by doing the fork or wheel set?
Thanks!
