pedals - wellgo MG1s are lighter and cheaper
tyres - two good choices there
post/saddle - SDG gear is the cheapest way of getting a lightweight setput. Merlin are doing good deals.
gloves - looking for summer/winter/general?"Melancholy is incompatible with bicycling." ~James E. Starrs0 -
Wellgos, same quality but cheaper
Speed Kings, NN over priced imho. Speed kings on dry tracks are furkin rapid!
Yes. Carbon post and Spoon myself though.
Don't know.
Yes
Yes
Yes
Assuming they fit well, all good choices though.0 -

How big are your feet? V8/V12 style pedals aren't massive.tyres fast ones- speed kings or nobby nics?
I do like Nics to be honest, they are exepensive though Top weight for their sizeseatpost & saddle lightweight-sdg ibeam?
If you're going light again, even though I get on really well with Bel Airs normally, the Bel Air SL is quite a bit less comfy. The Formula FX came in almost exactly the same weight though, much more comfy as it's got a bit of flex.grips large diameter- race face diabolis or yeti's?
Ourys here, laaaaarge diameter
The rest is accessorising, meh :P0 -
i'd say mg-1s
tyres, try the razer mx
sdg i-beam stuff is fairly cool, but i'd prefer a thomson with a fizik gobi
grips, the OURYs i've got are nice big grips,0 -
i prefer the humvee's over the single track, the fit is better with a working belt.0
-
in response i take a 11/12 footsize
and what are OURY's?

I had some Yeti grips.
They were great grips. Very durable.
The problem was that the end caps just poped of and I lost them so I had to get rid of them
Hope this helps!!0
