I'm debating removing the canti studs. The rear ones were removed, but the front were left on for the OMM rack. In keeping with the theme of gram counting, they should probably be removed. RD cable/housing will definitely be shortened . . . that thing is full length and looks ridiculous. Brake hoses may be shortened, but it's a real pain and requires bleeding the brakes, which is not a fun job. Big question though, is whether to trim the rear fender stays and cut an inch or so off the handlebars. Decisions, decisions . . . .
