Interesting.
I‘m running 223/200 Trickstuff HD rotors with Trickstuff brake pads for my codes - cause I missed some power of the Saint but prefered the modulation. But I don‘t care about the weight of my brakes setup
I do care about the weight of my tire/wheels setup: Newmen SL.A30 with DHF/DHR II in summer and Assegai/DHR II in winter/for shredding (all Exo+ - hard to find these days btw) - forgot the change for Finale Ligure and it still works… Pressure 1.3 bar front, 1.7 bar rear. Relatively light with 74kg geared up and no wheel smasher. Considering the new Butcher T9 as I‘m testing them on my secound bike and really like them - and they‘re even lighter tha Exo+
Frame: after Nomad and Megatower I switched to Stumpy Evo frame. More lively and lighter bike. Great for all day out on the saddle. In long setting still enough stability on the down. Awesome! Switching between Storia V3 and DPX2 with Cascade depending on the mission. Even more awesome!
Dropper/bars/stem: don‘t care about weight. Back on 31.8 aluminium bars. NO need for super stiff 35mm carbon bars… and I tend to scratch the bar right after installing with a big otb crash. So changing them for a good look after one season is cheaper :-)
—> first consider your riding style: do you need a Dreadnought/Range with a Zeb/38? Then think about your matching wheels and tires. Every shaved off gramm somewhere else is REALLY expensive and in most cases just for bling bling - but is also fun :-)
