7800 DA brake blocks - remove the little bump stop and file off most of the wheel-guide tabs = ~1.5g per block (bottom block, took ~45min of filing)

Wasn't actually done to save weight, rather to clear the 404 carbon when the blocks are worn down...

No scale photo, sorry @Dammit

I only lost 1g for both blocks when I did that. Used a hacksaw and only too 2 minutes with a bit of filing afterwards.

1.2g per block according to my slightly more accurate before/after measurement. I bought myself a Dremel and did the other three quicker than doing the first one with a file.
