• FRAME: Scale RC Carbon size L
  FORK: FOX 32 SC Float Performance Air
  REAR DERAILLEUR: Sram X01
  SHIFTERS: SRAM GX Trigger
  BRAKES: SRAM Level TL with Ashima AI2 rotors
  CRANKSET: SRAM X1 Carbon
  HANDLEBAR: Syncros Fraser IC SL 70mm
  SEATPOST: FSA SL-K Carbon
  SADDLE: Syncros XR1.5 / Titanium rails
  WHEELSET: 1320g c00lbon wheels
  CHAIN: SRAM XX1

Weight: 9.4kg with pedals, 2x bottlecages and wahoo mount = sub9kg

Where can I save some grams?
I looked at extralite thruaxle and a lighter saddle, any more tips?

Crankset/Bottom Bracket. XX1 Dub will be lighter than X1 GXP
Seatpost. Something exotic will be lighter than SL-K carbon. Mt Zoom or KCNC aren't too expensive.
Saddle. Yep.
There'd be a few grams in the brakes but not many. Maybe just do some titanium and aluminium bolt tuning.
What grips? KCNC or Mt Zoom again would save weight.
Cable outer for derailleur and lockout. Something in the 18grams/metre range. xcracer.com sell a couple of options.

as said, bolt tuning can help. It's a small win per bolt but combined it adds up.
What pedals are you using? I have the titanium Xpedo pedals. Saves a bunch compared to regular SPD.
also agree that in the post/saddle combo still some savings can be found.

Have my own topic for weight s(h)aving. Maybe some usefull tips there still?

Yeah, I been looking for a xx1 but trying to find some used is hard.

Grips are ESI, don't want to switch, been racing on ESI for years.

Will definitely come out cable outers, great tips.

What bolts can i replace, bottle cage, discbrake, what more?

Pedals are XTR, probably won't change until they done their job

Actually saw your topic when I logged in now, will have a read

I wouldn’t put a dub crankset in bb92, and definitely not on a mtb where you ride in the mud all the time

SRAM have dub on all new mtb cranksets, so why wouldnt it work?

[robbosmans]

You will have tiny bearings that won’t last very long

regarding bolts: think about one or have a look on your bike, you can change all of them. examples:clamps from brake levers, shifter, lockout, chaincatcher, brake caliper, brake disc, stem, saddle... Not much off the shelf available but you can "make" them yourself. I ordered titanium and alu bolts on aliexpress (alu only for lever clamps, titanium for stronger use). Cut them off on the desired lengths. Won some grams, looks cool because colormatched and not that expensive (titanium a bit).

you can save some weight on wheelset as for sure
i would say - wheelset is the best upgrade ever on ur bike

my current wheels setup : SPEEDSAFE carbon rims ( 300g each rim ) + dt 350 54 ratchet + sapim cx ray = 1290g

brakes! don't forget you can save some grams on brakes. here's what i have atm :


crankset. Sram DUB cranks rocks! 360g cranks looks fantastic!
