My CAAD10 disk sits at 8.2kg

I honestly couldn't care less - I had it up Hardknott, Wrynose and The Struggle back to back at the weekend and it reinvigorated my love of the bike after pretty much loving/hating it since new.
It also turns out, if you smash your bike up 30%+ hills, it stops the BB creaking.
And:

(Mavic Aksium Disc + CX77) > (Zipp 303 + DA BR-9000)

when descending like a motherfucker.

Gotta says, fucking chapeau for this, the passes are no easy feat.

Also got me thinking, what gearing were you running? I forgetting that the gearing alone make a bigger difference than losing 500g.

53x39 11-28 on the CAAD
52x42 11-28 on the Giant

Did Hardknott X Wrynose X Struggle on Saturday en CAAD
Dunmail X Honister X Newlands X Chestnut on Sunday en TCR

Pretty brutal 4 days, with shorter rides in the Friday and the Monday, and Hawksead Hill to start and finish you off every day!
