I'm looking to change out my cockpit and seatpost to one of the above.

Anyone with real world experience and weights of either setups?

Handlebars will be 44cm, 110 stem & 27.2 seat post.

Going on my Scott Addict Team with Zipp 404s.

Thanks all in advance!

Why limit your choices to just these two?

To keep my bike in 'theme'...

I have Zipp wheels and a Ritchey headset since I knew these were the paths I wanted to go down with the build.

Thought Deba but Zipp/Ritchey/Scott works IMO.

Ritchey Superlogic seatpost will be the lightest you can get (pretty much guaranteed to be at 150g or lower) without going into Mcfx, Ax, Schmolke territory. The stem is made from carbon, therefore, as all carbon stems, heavy. Bars... probably 200g or so.

Cannot comment on Zipp cockpit components.
Minimum bike categories required in the stable:
Aero bike | GC bike | GC rim bike | Climbing bike | Climbing rim bike | Classics bike | Gravel bike | TT bike | Indoors bike

Off to bed now, but will do a comparison of the new (not yet released) 2016 Zipp SL Speed vs Ritchey Superlogic.

I have been riding on a Ritchey Superlogic Flexlogic (mouthful) seatpost for about 1.5 years. It has performed solidly and provides a decent amount of comfort-flex; of course, I'm sure my 94kg heft "encourages" some of that flex. :)

Oh, the seat-rail clamp mechanism is not the easiest to adjust, but I don't adjust my saddle frequently. FWIW...I just purchased a second one for my other bike.

I've got some Zipp SLC bars (traditional bend) that I absolutely love. 177g in 42 width actual weight.

I'm just over 100kg (rugby player, but dropping), so I'm sure it'd flex more with me on it :lol:

Will post back upon my weight research.......

The below are all claimed weights.

Zipp

• Bars: SL 44cm – 170g
• Seatpost: SL Speed 20mm setback (27.2x330) – 172g
• Stem: SL Speed (100mm) - 123g
• TOTAL: 465g

Ritchey

• Bars: Superlogic II 44cm – 195g
• Seatpost: Superlogic Carbon Link Flexlogic 15mm setback (27.2x350) – 145g
• Stem: Superlogic Carbon 260 (110mm) – 125g
• TOTAL: 465g


So as you can see, they are identical in claimed weights… Thus making the decision even harder :lol:

Or if I went true WW style and didn't care about mixing brands, I could go:

• Bars: Zipp SL 44cm – 170g
• Seatpost: Ritchey Superlogic Carbon Link Flexlogic 15mm setback (27.2x350) – 145g
• Stem: Zipp SL Speed (100mm) - 123g
• TOTAL: 438g
