Exactly. I'll put the components I like on and enjoy it. Weight is just something on the side that I like to mess around with .FlatlandClimber wrote: ↑Tue Aug 24, 2021 12:54 pmI have gone 140mm XTR rotors on all my road bikes. For me, at 70kg bw, braking is fine and they are a good 25g lighter per rotor.
There are lighter wheels. Lighter tires. Lighter saddles, and you could go for the Nanogram Speedplay (pre Wahoo, -35g for me).
Mind you. All these savings will not make you even a 0.1% faster anywhere, really. So ride a bike you want to ride. Aero, friction and Crr are much easier felt than a few hundred grams.
I was considering an Alptitude saddle, I currently have an S Works power saddle so only a tiny bit of weight saving. I'm too heavy for the Nano pedals sadly, mid 80's.
