Hey everyone,

Longtime WW fan but rare poster.

Here is my Routt RSL - http://www.gravelcyclist.com/bicycle-te ... avel-bike/

The only change I have made since this article is switching over to the Dura-Ace 9170 levers / calibers.

I'm looking for help in getting it under 6.8kg. On my current upgrade list are -

Kenda tires to Compass 35mm 360g
Tune Post to Shmolke TLO 80g
Pro AL Bar to 3T SUPERERGO. 59g
XTR Cassette to DA 11-30 116g
D12 to Rotor group. 200g ????

Total. ~815g

That would give me a bike weight of ~6.89KG....... Any recommendations on where to find that last ~100g ?!?

Thanks,

JG

Carbon Works bottle cages, Gelu saddle or a Berk combo, Schmolke carbon shifter clamps, maybe some Hopp parts for that RD-M9050, Deda Traforato or other lightweight bar tape, or even Tesa 51608, Eggbeaters Ti or M-Force 8 Ti pedals.

You might want to look at the price diff of that 3T carbon bar vs a Satori X-Race Aero carbon.
Both weigh the same. Short and shallow.

Likewise a Darimo (r2-bike) post option vs the TLO.
Curve Grovel ti.
