Its all going to cost however for a start you could look at your tyres & pedals Maybe Schwalbe Nobby Nics or Racing Ralphs would save maybe 200 gms each Pedals maybe Ritchy V4 Mountain or Crank Bros Eggbeater SL maybe another 70-100 grms Also think about a Stans No Tubes kit maybe another 200 or so gms Easton Monkey lite bars (-100+gms) There's about 1kg plus for maybe a few hundred dollars |
