A new set of Zipp G40 tyres to replace the previous set later this spring. I don't check the weight of all parts I purchase, but for the tyres I did: I was surprised to find out that the weight varies quite much. One of the new tyres was just around 475 g, when the weight of the previous ones has been 20 grams more.

What sense does it make to put superlight bottle cages on a heavy frame and heavy pedals?

That seatclamp looks scary. Voids in the resin everywhere, Yikes.

Because he can? Please don't go and try to introduce logic into all this gratuitous consumption. :beerchug:

a couple of chinese TPU inner tubes (scale says 31.4g), at £12.50 each, will see if they are as good as the Tubolito's

So far so good. On the first ride, the shoe was very tight at the widest part of my foot. Was pretty uncomfortable. 2nd ride was a big improvement. The toe box is excellent, plenty of room. The overall feel of the shoe is excellent, the sole is super stiff, great heel cup.

225grams without mount 420/100mm

So sexy how can I possibly put bar tape on this.
That's very impressive. Will that combo work with a frame with non-round spacers such as the Factor Ostro?

Damn you. I get more and more tempted to get these everytime I see pictures like that but unsure how the knit exterior will fair over time. Seems like I would wear the same size as my Shimano SH-RC902 S-Phyres.
