Replaced the heavy stock specialized aluminum faceplate garmin mount with shapeways 3d printed nylon and saved 20g.
What do you use to mount the front light? The 3D printed version seems to only be the Garmin holder

No lights, I don't ride in the dark.

Ome.. Your sl7 colourway perfectly matches as Green Arrow's (arrowverse) colour scheme. Really like the splash of dark metallic green.

The sr12 hydro hoods on the otherhand just is unfortunately bulky.. If only they got it to DA shape and size.


Haha "needed" a second bike.. Congrats

Thanks!
I would have preferred the smaller hoods of the rimbrake, but got used to the hydro hoods.
Yes second bike hahaha!

Without hardware? Bottle cage bolts and RD hanger probably account pretty accurately for the 18g difference.

I've always been a campagnolo mechanical user, love their 12s.
For mechanical shifting, only hydraulic hoses are hidden. Shifting was still smooth because full cable housings were used.
What cables and housings did you use?

Yes without hardware.

Hanger mount is 14g and cage bolts probably 3-4g

Jagwire lex-sl shift housing and jagwire elite ultra slick polished shift cables. All was smooth.
But the other day my right ergo hydro shift lever's master cylinder was leaking oil so had to replace it.
I'm on dura-ace r9170 di2 disc hydro groupset now, back to 11 speed.

OK, thanks. That seems like a reasonable priced solution, the Maximum Smoothness set is expensive and does not include full lenght housings.

Bike is lighter and cleaner sans the cables now.

Could you have used a different stem to hide the mechanical housing? Something like this:

Hahaha! I know, but the wegweiser was lacking speed on the flats due to its shallow depth. No budget yet for a deeper lightweight wheels. The 2020 zipp 303 firecrest carbon clincher disc rear wheel only was on sale at lbs.

You can hide the mechanical shift housing even with the specialized headset caps included and tarmac stem. The problem is it will be too much friction with the bends routed inside the handlebar, stem, and headtube.
Btw, I'm on dura ace di2 9170 now so no more exposed cables.
