Id like some advice from any light weight guys or any one in the know what they think would be best for me and the type of riding i do with regards to new wheels and bars, i weigh 58 kilos and I'm 5'6 :roll: I'm currently looking at the following and also any advise on these wheels and bars would be appreciated to if any one had rode on them:
ENVE 6:7
BONTRAGER AEOLUS 7 D3
REYNOLDS AERO 58
MAVIC COSMIC CARBONE CXR 60C
BARS ZIPP VUKA SPRINT (new version) aero 70 i think
ENVE AERO BAR
BONTRAGER AERO BAR
so i ride a mixed bag no massive climbs, generally up down and flats id like to know do i really need to worry about a few 100 grams here and there with my weight, would i not be better with a more aero approach these new wheels all come in slightly lighter than my current 35deep fulcrums any way. i want some things that is gonna help me on the flats and coming down hills, into the wind and rely on my weight to get me up the hills quick any opinions and advise would be great
thanks

Use normal wheels. Pedal harder and faster. Aero road bars…. Nah.0

Mavic Ultimates - the best all round wheel out there. Light, strong, aero, very similar to Lightweights but 1/2 the price.
