Just spent £136 on light wheels for the bike too...need light skewers and a cassette thats not made of pig iron to finish it off lol

Cassette you say?
This one weights 138g, but probably won't last more than 100 miles:
It's a Recon one, made from a solid block of aluminium.0 -
My cassette must weigh at least 1lb ! it's the bottom SRAM one...bit daft bying the light wheels that I did and putting a hoofing heavy cassette back on

I've got some Parts of Passion skewers than are 34g, I fitted them, but never used them, there's a point where things that you trust your life to are just a bit too light! Tune ones are as light as I comfortably trust, they've got proper levers at least!0
