Are you going to do all the frame pivots?
Ya I mean why the hell not once you tear it down this far. I also wanted to put some wrap on the frame and its just easier with everything off of it.
I also like to see where I can save some weight, so weighing some parts along the way. I mean I do weigh my XC race bike...but not sure if id call myself a weight weenie per say only because I dont buy the big money lightweight parts. Valors arent cheap, but the ride of valors is SO SO much better than my china carbon wheelset, I would use them for that reason. But other than valors, I mainly save weight like this for example:
stock seat/carbon seat post
My 5 year old selle italia carbon road saddle and aluminum KCNC ti pro-lite post from my old scalpel....its so beat to shit after 5 years (yes 5 years and I didnt break it) and many thousands of miles, im probably just going to replace both...I paid about $100 used for the saddle on ebay, the seatpost is about $75...Really I could probably sell the stock parts for that.
but anyway
so thats 2/3rds of pound of without spending a ton of money...I mean there are lighter posts and saddles you can buy, but they get crazy expensive.
