First mod was to ditch the CX tyres to Michelin Pro 4's saving 600 grams!

I've got the CAADX with Canti's, i changed the wheels for a quick road spin to Campag Khamsins, which are hardly flash and they took a chunk of weight off mine.

yes agree wheels are high on the list for replacement as the existing wheels are like boat anchors.

Next might be a sram gxp red chainset that i have spare in the garage

Seems like it would have been cheaper to buy frame only, since you'll probably want to replace every single component on the bike in order to get it to a respectable weight. But wheels/tires alone will be a huge improvement. If your bike has handlebars (they aren't listed), I'm guessing crank/handlebars/saddle/stem would be the next logical places to take off weight.

My CaadX 61cm went down from 10.x kg to 7.9kg.. biggest weight savings are achieved with new wheels/tyres and the cannondale parts. The Frame is actually pretty light and the fork o.k. weightwise..

Yeah it is a touch heavy but I raced a stock CAADX Ultegra last season but with a set of 38mm carbon tub wheels and that took it to around 9kg or just under. The weight is offset by lovely ride qualities and a won a few good races on mine. Lovely bike.

I am.....or should I say, I was interested in a CAADX in 58 but the geometry numbers just do not look right to me. I suspect there is a mistake but my dealer doesn't know, and Cannondale does not list their phone number, and they never returned my email. I only wanted to know the wheel base number on the size 58. According to the website, its 101.8 but that just does not seem correct judging from the other numbers.

I plan to soon buy the CaadX Taigra. (trying to find the blue-red 2014 model, which I prefer over the black 2015 paint-scheme)
I will replace the Tiagra mechanics with ultegra 10s that I have laying around from my Caad10.
And I just got a 2nd hand SRAM-S951-Red crank set to install on it!

I am just started looking for a set of wheels (clincher)now with reasonable price/weight ratio.
Any suggestions? Which width do I need; 135mm width 130mm?

Thanks,
