Nice build!
Are you using the J&L Skewers with titanium handle and axle? If so, what do you think about them?

Thanks! Yeah the 36g ones. They're.... okay. The cams wear out pretty fast but they give you replacements. They hold my wheel to the bike, so I'm okay with them.

Great looking bike!
How are you getting on with the Hylix seatpost? What's the quality of the finish like on it? Looking to get the layback version for my Supersix

Thanks man. It's a decent finish, very light and compliant post. Comfortable to ride. I like it.

Updated with the new Vittoria Corsas in 25mm (they are heavier, mine weighed 252 and 258). Also changed to Vredstein latex tubes, 50g each. Roughly 75g gain and 75g loss.

Smud carbon clamp replaced the Felt stock one, from ~39g to ~7g.

Replaced the SiSL2s with a Quarq Elsa + Cannondale MK-V chainrings. Still standard gearing. Gained ~160g but having power data is cool. New photo up!

Update on the J and L skewers. The cams on mine are very worn out, and the front wheel doesn't feel secure. For the rear is fine but I stopped using mine on the front and replaced it with a more solid feeling skewer.
