Need a bit of advice. Currently my SS is feeling a bit overweight for what I "think" it should be. I ball park 23-24lbs right now. So where can I make some worthwhile weight reductions? Obviously a set of DT240 wheels would be nice, but don't have the coin. Maybe a Kona P2 fork in place of the existing? I have some trivial weight saving items in my parts bin for when it is rainy out, I can switch out.
So here is the current build:
Dean Private (ebb) (keeper)
Dimension Disc only fork
Cane Creek S-2 HS (keeper?)
Avid SD 1.9 Levers
Avid mechs (keeping)
XT/mavic 317 (here's some fat)
Thompson Stem (keep)
Monkey Light Bar (keep)
ODI Lock ons
Easton EA50 post (could trim here?)
WTB Saddle (cro-mo rails proly in the 350-400 g range) (Selle Flite?)
Truvativ Hussfelt crankset (XT or LX, weight savings???)
Salsa Ring (can't swing a Boone at $86 each)
DX cog (have a Chris King to mount when rainy)
Sram PC7x (keeping)
Shimano M535 pedals (have Egg Beaters to mount when it rains)
Ahhh, tires....well:
Currently have a Panaracer FR 2.4 (900+ grams of pure pleasure)..might mount the Cinder up front and put back the Panaracer Fire XC Pro on the back.
So Like Keith Bontrager says "Light, cheap, strong - pick 2"
I am trying to keep prices down but have some spending money at my disposal. So Monkeys, what would you look at getting rid of? Replace with?
Thanks
