Drill seatbumper (only a few g)
Cut a few nobs of your tire on the outside (around 50g)
Single bolt-seatclamp (around 50g)
Magnesium Pedals (around 200-300 depending on your current pedal)
CF-base (around 100 i guess)
Tensile cranks (100g each crank -> 200g total)
All in all you can make it about 500-700g lighter with that.
hmmm… depends on the paint though… I’d be surprised if it’s 4 grams actually.
To put the weight gain into perspective a single yale doorkey weighs 9.5 grams so lightening your pockets or shaving your head is probably much more worthwhile!
So i could strip the frame, cut a few kobbies off, i could get 125 moments, or tensiles, but i dont think i’ll be doing some of the other suggestions you said . I think the suggestions from probailer2, sponge, smileymarco and the others in this thread are alot better than the advice in that thread.
Drill holes in the sides of your rim say, along each spoke ~ 5mm diameter.
Drill holes in the legs of your frame (I’ve never heard of a frame breaking there).
Get a Koxx-One Pit Fighter II seatpost.
Cut your post so only 2" is still in the neck. You might want to leave an inch or so extra for growing or you change your style (like higher seat for SIF hopping).
Or if you break posts w/ extreme regularity, get a KH longneck w/ a short Chro-molly post.
