This may be the wrong thread, as I'm not looking for WEENY weight.
But general advice on making something a bit lighter...
Have a fairly heavy 853 (standard reynolds R fork) fixed bike, 36h wheels, I am fairly heavy. If you were trying to lighten it up, would you:
*get a crabon fork
*replace seatpost & stem & brake & bits and bobs with lighter/carbon
*focus on wheels - maybe 28h on carbon rims? or stay 36 and make lighter on spokes & rims?
*remove all the gubbins like mudguards & rack (but will be sticking to dyno hub & lights)?
Kind of want to know where is worth spending a bit and where aint really? Rotational is No 1 right?
