Destroyed the stock clamp on my CAAD 8 last week and decided to make a weight upgrade (and it looks great to boot)!

I also got the Lezyne tire levers. Hard to get to excited about tire levers but hey, they are a good compact design. I like this company's products



agree with you on the pump (alu barrell). no, it;s not the most WW but the quality is amazing. i've had lots of 50g ish pumps fail. also, the pipe connector system on the lezyne makes screwing the valve much less likely.
