Or... I could just weight the parts before and after...
I don't think it would be that futile, I mean a drilled chain ring you could probably reduce the weight by 25% maybe? And I expect as parts have to be built to withstand riders up to a certain weight, and I doubt I weigh anywhere near that much, even with a reduction in structural integrity, it would still be safe as I will be putting a lot less force into the bike (at ~62kg) compared with my heavier counterparts, maybe ~85kg. Surely then, I could reduce the mass by ~25% and still be safe as long as it is in the right places, no?
And thanks for merging this unknown moderator, it didn't seem to come up in the search, maybe I missed something.
