Lyti weight as advertised 110mm @100g
What's the stem weight without bolts? What bolt size does it accept? My Kalloy Uno with hollow Ti bolts is 100g too, but something tells me that Lyti will be even lighter.
The bolts weigh about 11g for 6
I weighed 3, just so I didn't need to take off handlebars

Lyti seatpost 25mm setback
151g as advertised
Price is reasonable...next step up in terms of weight reduction is the Darimo, which is light but too expensive for me by the time I have to pay import taxImage

Bloody import tax, another way for the Government to make money out of us. I had to pay an extra $447 for my wheels.

I’m in the U.S. and I had to pay a 10% duty on my Bora Ultras. If you are also in the U.S. your AX wheels costs $4,470? Wow. That’s a painful hit on top of an already expensive purchase.

I had to pay 5% import tax and 10% GST, I'm in Australia. Wheels were paid in euros but came in around AU$3400+.

So a Lyti with Ti bolts (given they'd fit) would be ~95g. That's only 10g more than Hyperstem for just ~60USD. Hmm…

Got to be happy with those weights. Great when they come in under claimed weight.
Better than bloody Veloflex.
