What is roughly the cost and weight loss that I could expect by replacing the bolts pulleys and cage?
Thanks

Do you guys think it is possible to make your own carbon back plate and pulley wheels? In fact those are 'flat surfaces' which don't need a difficult mold...
I don't think it'd be terribly hard...just buy a pre-cured carbon/resin sheet (5 layers or something...I'm not sure what is good but I know Fibre-Lyte sells these sheets as well as cages and pulleys) and then cut and shape your own cages/pulleys out of the sheet. It'd be a lot of work compared to buying something pre-made and probably take some trial/error but it might be worth it. I think the hardest part would just be getting the pulley teeth correct and knowing what thickness of a pre-made carbon sheet to buy.
