can’t find a really lightweight 30.0 mm clamp
Darimo said they can make a custom-sized clamp for me, I don't see why you can't ask for the same. But the clamp isn't for sale yet.

dust cover
Any suggestions? I'm still looking for something to replace a stock Neco conical dust cover.

Slam that stem cover? Carbon FSA cover? It’s more about what’s going to fit than what’s lightest.
I guess there's worse hobbies than making a bike light? Right?

Veloflyte's headset dust cover is the lightest I think, ~2g IIRC.

I’m not sure what size bearings this bike uses and can’t find a really lightweight 30.0 mm clamp
Mt Zoom do a 30.mm clamp, but it looks like it might be a bit heavier than their other ones - 9g rather than 6 according to the site below. Not sure if this is light enough for you.

Yuniper do a 30.0mm clamp at 6.2gish. Mine will probably be a spare soon, because why wouldn't you do what it takes to save like 2g?!

33% sounds better maybe... :wink:
