Lighter crank
Lighter connecting rods
Lighter pistons
Lighter rear wheel
Lighter battery
Can you see a pattern? I thought you could. :)
To complete the lighter theme I sent my rear rotor out to get machined to be lighter. 11.5oz later and I now have a lighter rotor. That's 58% the weight as the stock rotor. Some of you maybe wondering, why would I want to remove metal off my rear rotor? Well I'm not a rear braker so I don't need it to slow me down in the normal case. In the case where I really need to use my rear brake for backup there isn't so much material removed that it won't work. And it'll be beneficial when I'm out in the dirt as it'll help prevent me from locking it up panicing!
Now I don't have any plans to lighten the rear rotor on my rain wheels as I tend to use my rear brake in the wet for that last little bit. :)
