Srsly, epoxing the seatpost is a good one, but I want to swap it out for an aero / less snappy one for flat TTs next year.
Easy would be super light cable outers and power cordz, but I didn’t do it when I set the bike up so I’m unlikely to do it now. Getting them at all cheap means ordering from China, so they wouldn’t arrive in time for this season anyway.
Tubs, but I calculated that I’d only save something like 50g on each rim if I got the old Planet X budget weight weenie wheels (if I could find any) and the lightest tubs. I’ve already gone through one £10 latex tube so fuck that.
In sum, I’ve got to leave some marginal gains to be had for 2018.
