Reasonable lightness on the way

RickMabus · Jan 20, 2010

I need some suggestions. I am trying to lighten up my rig and want to aim for a reasonably light setup with a priority on being able to actually race it hard on the weekends. For instance I run Mavic Crossmax wheels because they just work. So I am thinking rotors and such but does anyone have any ideas on how to drop a few grams here and there?

We have no idea what you have, post a list of all of your parts.
You could get a lot lighter wheels that are still 100% raceable, unless your pretty big.

Vagueness is key to answers.

I am running and orbea oiz carbon with a fox fork. Right now I have a syntace bar, titec carbon stem. Mostly sram x.o and avid juicy carbon disc. I am running a thomson post and alliante seat. I am pretty married to my Mavic wheels and Schwalbe Ralph non- tubeless tires. Finally I am running truvativ carbon stylo cranks with a double chainring Middleburn setup.

just read a bunch about the formula R1's. I think they would help me knock just under a pound off my rig alone.
