  • If you can afford it why not spend a hundred on 30g, its your money. Saying that you can buy stems and pedals at sub £40 that outperform £70-80 gear.
    the deeper the section the deeper the pleasure.

    Hollowgram.
    Veloplugs.
    Skewers.
    Bars.
  • You could get

    Planet X Ti skewers @ 44g £17.50, will probably save you about 50 or 60 grams
    Planet X forged brakes @ 230g £59.99, will save you 130g over Shimano 105 brakes
    3T Rotundo Pro bars @ 250g £45, will save you 60 grams over stock Cannondale bars
    Continental GP4000s tyres @ 410g , £50 pair, will save you between 50 and 100g depending on what tyres you run now
    Vittoria Latex inner tubes @ 150g, £18 pair, will save you about 50g or more over current tubes
    Carbon Ti X-Plug @ 14g, £20
    Carbon Ti X-Cap @ 6g, £20, with the X-Plug will save 30g over the OEM headset adjuster
    KMC X10 SL chain @ 232g, £35.96, will save 50g over Shimano 105 chain

    Total = £270
    Weight saving = ~420g

    After that you need to start spending serious money to shed a few grams here and there, or drop large and buy a set of 1000g wheels

    That's an awful lot of money for a very, very small weight saving. And all of this relies on the accuracy of published product weights...
