Had a bit of a spending spree

A few weeks ago I bought a new wheelset, nothing outrageous, just a decent set of XT 29ers. Of course, I weighed them against my old wheels before I fitted them and found that I'd saved about 300g. This then lead me to remember I still hadn't done anything about my knackered BB and maybe if I replaced that, I could save a few more grams. I searched around and decided that the best thing to do was buy a whole new crankset, again, nothing outrageous, but an upgrade all the same. A few days later, it arrived with a sticker saying "HGX chain only". Back onto the net I jumped and put an HGX chain in the basket, while I was there, it would be silly not to replace the cassette! One XT cassette thrown into the basket. A week or so later these arrived, weighed, compared and fitted. A good weight saving was acheived from the drive set and the weight saving bug had gripped! I now have an ESI set of grips (another 100g) and waiting to get some Stans now to go tubeless. Total weight saving without tubeless is 713g, hopefully going to above 1kg with the tubeless.

And a bonus is that the bike looks great (IMHO)
