Does anyone know the total weight of the carbon Save seatpost that comes on the Evo Hi Mods including the cradle, bolts and yokes?

According to this post:

viewtopic.php?f=10&t=141147

A 50 mm trimmed version weighs 162 g. Carbon headset spacers weigh about 0.5 g/mm, so the total weight should be around 187 g. This should be a good ballpark estimate in case you can't get an actual measurement.

Cool thanks for finding that - I should have searched really. That's quite a hefty weight really. I've got a new Hi Mod on order and looking at what comes on it and what I can modify/replace to get the totla weight down and the seatpost is one such area. However, there aren't many people making after market setposts inthe 25.4mm diameter in carbon

That's my seatpost, so I'll comment. Your pretty close actually.

Uncut my 25.4mm carbon SAVE seatpost was 196 grams. This includes a ~50mm long aluminum insert in the bottom of the seatpost for a Di2 battery installation. When I cut my seatpost down by 50mm the weight dropped to 162 grams.

The total length was 350mm or 300mm ? Cause Cannondale Save Carbon seatpost is available in two heights.

I'm about to try out one of these Hylix carbon posts for my caad 12. They seem to have pretty good reviews on here and across google. Their handlebars seem to be a bit more iffy but I'm thinking about it too.

Has anyone tried replacing the bolts and cradle?
That should save a bit of weight, no?

I assume this is to upgrade from the non-Save seatpost? My non-Save was 254g in 330mm length including the aluminium DI2 battery holder sleeve.
