Embrace the vibe I say. Whenever you qualify the weightweenie life I remember where you live and the rides you do and think, fair enough. Loved the little comments at the end lol, never heard the term aeroweenie before but like it a lot. The Nero Show will pick it up hopefully 🙂
CHASER Road Bike Disc Brake 160 Disc on Aliexpress will pull up the brake adaptors. I have their cnc alloy brake adaptors (not the printed ones) and then Chaser centerlock adaptors which are the lightest at 15g a piece. These two upgrades plus 160mm Quaxar 6 bolt rotors (obviously not using 6 bolts, similar to Aishima rotors) had immense weight savings. Afaik, this is the lightest alloy (probably even against Carbon Fiber) setup available. 16g~ total for F/R brake adaptors 30g total for both centerlock adaptors 141g for 160mm F/R rotors. 187g, 196g with hardware to bolt brake adaptors to fork/frame (Ti bolts cut to length, threads need to be cleaned after too)
I’d rather of have stayed in my ignorance of the specialty titanium parts 😂. I first replaced rear caliper bolts with the same length ti ones, there were barely any threads I had to go for longer ones. Buy that upgrade twice 😔
Absurd that manufacturers are still using all this hardware when thru-bolt mounts exist. Just 2 holes in the fork just like the frame mount, eliminating thresded inserts, adapter, and 2 bolts altogether
This must be the best channel on RUclips 👍
it's cozy for sure. and Tobasu sempai probably pro in videoediting and have a nice taste
No sane human being would use washers on these bolts, unacceptable to carry those uphill.
Love these videos!
What a time to be alive

bought the chaser for the front 160, but haven't installed yet, agree with your research =)
So you’re nuts! But those are titanium. Good job!
My primary bike is a steel all road (7.8 kg), but I still love these vids
7.8 for a steel all-road IS light! Respect! ✊
You'd save a lot of weight switching to nylon bolts. They might even work once before snapping off 😂
ROFL famous last words..
How about hope RX4+ calipers, they're light and need no adapters for 160mm rotors.
But the 160 rotor will offset the weight saving of the adapter ;)
@@slayerofgrams Oh you're using 140mm, I think the new + calipers have also a 140mm version. But sure having shimano brakes do have their advantages.

closing comment on aero weenie ^^
is there any ultralight rear derailleur hanger options🧐?
Silca 3d printed titanium hanger wonder what that weighs?
@@woduk its pretty heavy

could you replace your loose nuts in the head with titanium nuts?
First priority
YES YES YES - but that 3D printed version is just not up to it - milling it down to make it even - come on really ???
I don't get why the adapter couldn't be made of plastic. Lots of machine parts are made from UHMW and other hard plastics.
Fairly critical safety component that experiences beak by loads 🤔
@@notkaty What is beak?
