so do all people agree that with a seatpost clamp with a quick release mechanism, there is not "torque specification" all we do is tighten it to a point where the seatpost doesn't move during riding and be done with it. Am i right?

KCNC Brakelevers: 38g Already in standard trim these are the lightest at 46g but these carbon-blades dropped some significant weight...there is some crazy DIY tuning guys in germany doing such stuff.

Very bling. I think the next contest we need is not "Who can build the lightest bike". But who can build the lightest bike w/ $XXXX dollars.

more parts New Ultimate seatpost 27.2x350mm Schmolke TLO bar Aluminum and Ti rotor bolts tuned Formula adapter for 140-160 is there lighter adapters out there?

Arrrrggg my scrub rotor bolts are so much heavier..... good thing I only use three.. then we are equal on weight...lol

I just bought a hardtail frame that weights 2730g. Transition TransAm. It is paired with a 5.3lb 150mm fork. I guess I should be forbidden from reading this thread.

I have no idea, mine works very well consistently and has been calibrated with special weights at our mech. eng. department, Maybe it's not the brutally tough environment, but the brutally tough hands that are taking the measurements Why don't the shop boys send it back? great civil, fantastic - that's just...

Am i right? Yes. Also remember: carbon assembly goop = good.

I don't know for sure but I would check the weight difference in a boxxer ride vs a boxxer team. That should get you in the ballpark since the only difference is the u-turn and 1 inch of travel. I am guessing that it would save you at least 1/4 pound. The best reason though to do it though is for greater tunability and performance. You will get more usable travel without the uturn.
