Focus Izalco max 0.0 (2014)
Moderators: MrCurrieinahurry, maxim809, Moderator Team
I just bought a Focus Izalco max 0.0, model year 2014. Had my first ride and I have to say it rides awesome! Stiff and light, so it is nice to climb and accelerate with. I am more a fan of custom bikes and my other rides are custom builds. But of course I plan to do some changes from time to time and try to lose some weight as well.
Build list (part-weights from the internet):
Frame: Focus Izalco max (size L) 750g
Fork: Focus 295g
Wheels: DT Swiss RRC 32 DICUT (Set) 1090g
Tires: Schwalbe One tubular 22 (Set) 520g
brakes: THM Fibula 179g
Stem: Fizik Cyrano R1 110mm 133g
handlebar: Fizik Cyrano 00 175g
seatpost: Fizik Cyrano R1 carbon 200g
saddle: Fizik "Airone 00" 139g
rear dérailleur: SRAM Red 145g
front derailleur: SRAM Red 69g
shifters (set): SRAM Red 280g
Crankset: SRAM Red 39-53 609 g
bearing: SRAM Red 105g?
Chain: SRAM Red 242g
Cassette: SRAM Red 11-26 151g
Pedal: Shimano Ultegra 262g (weight)
Bottle Cages: 2x Tune Wasserträger 2.0 total 20g
skewers: Tune 36g set
Cable set / Bolts / Tape unknown yet
Total weight is about 5,65 kg (I have to update with a new weigh feeder)
First custom parts are:
skewers changed, used my old tune (pair) instead of DT swiss which saved me 52g in total.
2x Tune Bottle Cages
What part would you recommend to change for a easy weight lose?
I will go for Garmin Vector pedals some day, so don't say pedals .
- Seatpost, Crankset and tires are my first thoughts, wheels are to expensive at the moment..
Cheers
Felix

Maybe a super light saddle / seatpost combo (monocoque without bolts..)
Because the Seatpost is a bit "heavy" as well.
What about tuning the SRAM Red parts? Bolts cogs etc..? Is the weight / price ratio okey.
Or will I lose to much durability? I don't want plastic bolts ofcourse, but maybe some al or ti bolts can save some grams and is eyecatcher as well.

The cranks are actually pretty light, but the big ring is really heavy. It's like 150g. Praxis just started making ring sets for this crank. You'd save about 50g.
I saw in another thread where a guy sanded the clear coat and logos off and removed about 30g.
If you look at the bare crank weight, it's about 370 grams. It's hard to do much better than that without spending a ton of cash.
Also look at cable housing, seatpost binder, fd hanger, expander and top cap. Those little parts add up!

Swap the chainrings for something in the 120g range which will save you 59g. That's one of the cheapest savings available on your build as well as Pedals.
