Real porky one

porkey_crankset
Whoomp! There It Is!

ultegra_cassette_weight
Ultegra cassette. I’ve ordered a Goldix 11-28 which manufacturer says weighs in at a silly 110g.

skewers
Will look into some light Ti skewers. I’m 100% sure I still have a few KCNC skewers in storage, somewhere.

tubes
Old tubes (will replace with RideNow TPU tubes with the pink valves at 36g each).

tyres_weight
Weight of the GP 4000’s. Not as heavy as I thought they would be for 28’s, will still look for something lighter though, may even go down to 25C.

zipp_202_weight
Weight of both Zipp 202’s combined. Would love to get a sub 1kg wheelset but struggling to find much out there in rim brake land, that and I think I want 45 deep wheels just to make the bike actually look good.

Woke up to yet another rainy day, so I decided to start stripping the SL6 down and get down to the bottom of where all the weight lies. Turns out everything on this frame is heavy! I’m thinking a low to mid 6kg build might not be so easy unless I get another set of wheels. We’ll see!
