Just wondering if anyone/everyone can tell me what are the lightest parts out there.
For example, I understand the Easton Attack carbon bars to be the lightest in the industry.
What about components, wheels, tires, frames etc…
Want to be fast and LIGHT.
Thanks, J
here you go:
I believe that SRAM Red is now the component leader in terms of weight. Go with Nokon housings and Powercordz cable, Zero gravity brakes, stick with a comfy saddle but the Fizik Arione Carbon Tri2 is pretty light for a tri saddle, Zipp wheels unless you want to go crazy with a Lightweight disk.
The scott plasma is petty light but did not test well as far as aerodynamics.
There are lots of really light bits out there if you have the cash, like CF chainrings, Ti chains, Ceramic bearings, and custom Aerobars that are so light you wonder if their filled with helium.
If you really want the skinny on light everything go to weightweenies.com
Do the parts also need to be reliable?
Are you talking road or tri bike only?
Built up Record is slightly (<300gm) lighter. I am on the understanding that OEM full length Campy cables are about 2’ longer each - accounting for the higher “delivered” weight…but then you cut off all the extra (saving weight)…at the end of the day - they weigh about the same.
