Getting closer to being done. Still have titanium spindles on the way and some J&L ultralight TA's. Should have another 100g to take off and then a 3D printed mounted for my Bontrager Flare RT to add on.

Bare Wheel Onfo:
CLX64's = 899g rear, 753g front = 1652g
CLX50's = 775g rear, 643g front = 1418g

Pics:

CLX64 Rear/CLX64 Front - 7.625kg/16.83lb

CX Tubular Check - 28"x33mm fit, rubbing on the little knobs. Won't be putting these wheels/tires on the bike ever, but had some questions about clearance come in.

100% acetone and a green scotch brite pad. About 5 minutes each. Wear gloves.

Don’t, titanium spindles are way to soft for Shimano’s pedal design

I've been using the Titanium planet spindles on my DA 9000 pedals since last April and they're still spinning fine. I haven't opened them up to inspect them again because adjusting the preload is a PITA to get right.

I'm surprised that the Ultegra pedals with the Titanium spindles are lighter than my DA 9000 + Ti (205g vs 215g)

3D Printed Flare mount from Shapeways arrived today. A pair of black titanium bolts has this thing wrapped up.
