Common, maybe we can combine ideas!
I can think of:
-Carbon spider on the back (with Sram XD slots)
-Titanium M5 bolts (stock are steel)
- The lockring inside the last 4 smaller cogs is super heavy!, so I could think of removing that, bolt the 4 cogs straight to the rest of the cassette body, and add a sleeve just like Ethirteen is designing their high range cassettes, but that would require a clamping system to the freehub somewhere.....
393g total for the 13sp 9-42 version is a lot, considering Ethirteen made a 298g 9-46 11sp a while ago. (TRS race first gen).

Can’t wait for E13 to make a 13sp version 9-48 or 9-50(to give justice to the brand name). They certainly have weight conscious designers, campagnolo not so much.Butcher wrote:Wait till they come up with Super Ekar.
I guess it's better to come up with a safe/reliable system, then work on 'tuning' it.
