Shaving weight on brake hardware, Oh yes!

[@huawei755]

This must be the best channel on KZbin 👍

[@dioright]

it's cozy for sure. and Tobasu sempai probably pro in videoediting and have a nice taste

[@marcvb3364]

No sane human being would use washers on these bolts, unacceptable to carry those uphill. Love these videos!

[@tapuzak]

What a time to be alive

[@TenSapphires]

Yes, I want them all! In color 😊

[@marcbryant8482]

Embrace the vibe I say. Whenever you qualify the weightweenie life I remember where you live and the rides you do and think, fair enough. Loved the little comments at the end lol, never heard the term aeroweenie before but like it a lot. The Nero Show will pick it up hopefully 🙂

Thank you RoJ for bringing this up! Ordering mine (Front Colour 2 1pc) right now... it´s BlkFday madness!!!!!🤑

CHASER Road Bike Disc Brake 160 Disc on Aliexpress will pull up the brake adaptors. I have their cnc alloy brake adaptors (not the printed ones) and then Chaser centerlock adaptors which are the lightest at 15g a piece. These two upgrades plus 160mm Quaxar 6 bolt rotors (obviously not using 6 bolts, similar to Aishima rotors) had immense weight savings. Afaik, this is the lightest alloy (probably even against Carbon Fiber) setup available. 16g~ total for F/R brake adaptors 30g total for both centerlock adaptors 141g for 160mm F/R rotors. 187g, 196g with hardware to bolt brake adaptors to fork/frame (Ti bolts cut to length, threads need to be cleaned after too)

[@andreasolsson2336]

bought the chaser for the front 160, but haven't installed yet, agree with your research =)

[@el3ktrik0]

So you’re nuts! But those are titanium. Good job!

[@bossebo3535]

you should consider the Chaser flat mount adapters on Ali. They are 100% flat, and weight is about 8 grams. Ti parts also sells them, without the chaser branding

[@faithwyar]

My primary bike is a steel all road (7.8 kg), but I still love these vids

[@slayerofgrams]

7.8 for a steel all-road IS light! Respect! ✊

[@oatmonster]

You'd save a lot of weight switching to nylon bolts. They might even work once before snapping off 😂

[@markusseppala6547]

How about hope RX4+ calipers, they're light and need no adapters for 160mm rotors.

[@slayerofgrams]

But the 160 rotor will offset the weight saving of the adapter ;)

[@markusseppala6547]

@@slayerofgrams Oh you're using 140mm, I think the new + calipers have also a 140mm version. But sure having shimano brakes do have their advantages.

[@jonathanzappala]

I’d rather of have stayed in my ignorance of the specialty titanium parts 😂. I first replaced rear caliper bolts with the same length ti ones, there were barely any threads I had to go for longer ones. Buy that upgrade twice 😔

[@andreasolsson2336]

closing comment on aero weenie ^^

[@dioright]

is there any ultralight rear derailleur hanger options🧐?

[@woduk]

Silca 3d printed titanium hanger wonder what that weighs?

[@jadenngl]

@@woduk its pretty heavy

[@Carftymk]

could you replace your loose nuts in the head with titanium nuts?

[@slayerofgrams]

First priority

[@martinhotan8946]

YES YES YES - but that 3D printed version is just not up to it - milling it down to make it even - come on really ???

[@Raymond-Farts]

I don't get why the adapter couldn't be made of plastic. Lots of machine parts are made from UHMW and other hard plastics.

[@notkaty]

Fairly critical safety component that experiences beak by loads 🤔

[@Raymond-Farts]

@@notkaty What is beak?
