Which parts did you swap on the Nanos?

SInce the only difference between the Comp (Chromoly spindle) and the Zero (stainless steel spindle) is the cleat spring...I opted to just buy the Comp versions and replaced those.

Wich is the difference in cleat spring?

I read in another post that while the Wahoo Speedplay Zero's ship with the standard tension cleats, yet the Comps ship with the easy tension cleats. Using the image below, the standard tension cleat spring is on the left, and the easy tension cleat spring on the right, although both have the same thickness (~3.4mm), comparing the two, the the neck of the standard tension cleat spring on the left is 3.8 mm wide where as the easy tension cleat spring on the right is narrower (~3 mm) at the neck.

Got my titanium wahoo speedplay from dulight today.

My old custom speedplay weighted 141g.

But happy to throw away my greasegun

Nice. Looks fitment of Ti covers is spot on. I'm waiting for my covers from Dulight. I had already swapped out the spindles with J&L Ti ones several months ago.

You would think that the cost of Nanos...Wahoo would make titanium covers, but it seems that its the same as the Zero's and the Comps ($149). Just buy the Comps and replace spindles, covers and screws for about half the cost of Nanos.

Interesting how you can get yours sub, 150g while @billendk only got his down to 160g with similar Dulight ti parts. I wonder where the 10g difference is.

Mine is normal lenght spindle, maybe short spindle??

Nano's have a carbon composite body, other models have grivory (polymer). Pretty sure there is a small weight difference on bodys, otherwise it would sound strange why even use carbon on the top model.

Did these dulight modded come with easy tension cleats?

Not a problem as I have saved old standard springs just in case. If I understood correctly, old non-walkable cleat springs are compatible with new cleats.

Seems to me like it's a spindle length, not the body difference. Even if Nanos use carbon bodies (they don't look any different?), carbon is not actually lighter than plastic polymers, normally. It's just much stronger.

In any case, the difference is 10g. Given the cost of the nanos, buying titanium parts for the comp version seems like the better option by far. Unless you are willing to pay £200 for those 10g.

Dulight only sells the replacement titanium bits...like the spindles and the covers (ring around pedal body) and countersunk bolts.

Yes they came with easy tension cleats.

Did you swap the spindles? If so, did you take any steps to soften the Loctite Wahoo appplies to the retention bolts that attach the pedal bodies to the spindle? I have sheared the retaining bolts on the left pedal of two sets and had to drill out the holes in order to replace the sheared retaining bolt. Just got my Speedplay Aeros warranty replacement and for this set, will probably be using a heat gun on the spindles before trying to loosen the retaining bolts.

It was done by dulight.

This thread si very ntresting since I bought the Nanos as a set and forget never thinking I could swap the plates... Now I am watching closely to see if the ti plates cause issues for anyone.....
