S-WORKS Tarmac SL6 update

frame_weight_sl6_sworks
Frame weight with headset and BB bearings. Looks like my frame is one of those heavier outliers!

sl6_sworks_tarmac_fork
Fork weight with cut steerer.

spacer_dust_cap
Massive, ugly and heavy conical spacer/dust cover (replacing with a much thinner one).

sl6_tarmac_seatpost_weight
Seatpost + carbon rail clamp.

cover
I have a Hoff carbon replacement coming to replace this frame bung.

sram_red_22_etp_shifter_weight

sram_red_22_etap_rear_derailleur_weight
Medium cage, will replace with lighter short cage.

sram_red_22_etap_front_derailleur_weight

campagnolo_direct_caliper_weight
Porky campy calipers.

brakecables
Brake cable inners and outers were heavier than I thought. Not going to go those weenie link ones though as I absolutely hate how they look.

extralite_stem_120mm
Extralite 120mm -6. Was on sale so I pulled the trigger on it, but would have preffered a 110mm -12. Will have to see how it fits (and looks).

ztto_gen3
ZTTO gen 3 11-28 cassette. So light!

berk_saddle
Berk Lipa, was also on sale otherwise would have gotten another Lupina short.

Rode in the rain the other day (Allez Sprint) and now I see why so many people seem to have a “winter bike”. The drivetrain is full of sand, and oil from the road has now contaminated my disc brakes (they now make a deafeningly loud squeal!). Spent some good time cleaning up the drivetrain, bought some brake cleaner for the brakes, might avoid riding in the rain from now on.

Weather has been absolutely crap lately (I’m getting anxiety from not being able to go out and ride!). Perfect weather to be building up a bike, except I’m still waiting for so many parts. I thought I’d at least take everything off the frame in preparation.
