Where to save weight on Gen 3 SS Evo
Moderator: robbosmans
Hey guys, coming from a rim brake Canyon Ultimate my SS Evo is feeling a bit heavy. Looking to see where I can save weight.
EF Education-EasyPost team bike
Frame/Fork: Super Six EVO Hi-MOD
Crankset: Vision NS Modular Compact Aero (869g)
Groupset: Shimano Dura Ace Di2 9170 11 speed
Brake: Disc (Dura Ace)
Handlebar: Vision Metron
Saddle: Prologo
Wheels: Scribe 42 HD (1550g)
I have EXS Aerover bars on order which will save some weight. I have a Berk saddle I can use. I think there is some weight to be saved with the Vision crankset at 869g. Would it be worthwhile to switch to a Rotor set or look for SiSl2? I would potentially loose the "aero" of this crank. I was a bit impatient with the wheels and could've ended up with a lighter set but these aren't anchors and were ideal dimensions. Also considering a Darimo post. Any other input appreciated. Thanks!

What's your current bike weight and what's your goal? You could easily drop ~700g with a crank and wheel switchout. Are you running tubes or tubeless?
I actually do not have a weight at the moment. Will be getting one of those hook scales soon. I can just tell it's much heavier than my Canyon, though that bike is quite light. I am running tubes, I did buy some Conti race tubes which will be lighter. I've been hesitant to try Latex, lots of mixed info regarding puncture protection which I do value.DeathClassic wrote: ↑Fri May 26, 2023 5:49 amWhat's your current bike weight and what's your goal?

New generation Dura-Ace brakes are 10-15 grams lighter per caliper
If your saddle is stock, it probably has steel rails, you can probably save 150 grams easily by going for a saddle with a carbon construction.
The weight-weenie and bang-for-buck leader in my mind are the Mixed saddles, you can get them for cheap on Aliexpress: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005004594187447.html
No rider weight limit either
