  • I’m putting my 2020 Force AXS supersix on a diet. 8.3kgs stock!

    Best place to start? Stock bar/stem is mega heavy, so want to change to some integrated carbon thing but few options in stock anywhere?

    Also apparently the biggest weight difference between force/red is in the cranks c.200g. Can you buy red cranks on their own, easy to swap out?

    Also thinking about swapping the rotors from stock centrelock sram Avid 160mm to Centreline X with the cool black carriers - either all 160, or 160 front and downsize to 140 at the back to save a few grams.

    Is there any point in this exercise? How hard would it be to change the rear down to 140?

  • Enve SES 2.0 wheels are nice and light, whatever SiSL number we're on now, put some titanium axles in your speed plays, one of those carbon SMP "homage" saddles from Ali-Express, a hollow bushed chain, Enve seat post is quite good but doubtless there are lighter, and then stem and bars have to match the seat post so that'll define where you go there. Boutique carbon bottle cages that will break at an inconvenient moment and you're getting there.

  • Thanks, if I can break down into the 7 kilos ‘bracket’ I think I’d be happy. Mental to invest in a new road bike for it to be heavier than your last (DISKS).

    Wheels would be on the list but stock are Hollowgram 35s - which on paper seem fairly competitive? 1600gish?
