Well, I’m in Germany so get to ride reasonably smooth tarmaced bike routes and don’t need to bunnyhop kerbs, so 32mm tyres and 32 spokes are normally OK.
I’m pretty good at truing wheels so if/when they go out of whack I can bring ‘em back into true.
A bit of research means that the MKR pedals (€40) are no longer on the build list. XLC folding pedals are lighter and a third the price (€12 delivered) so they’re going on.
It looks like I’ll use a Syntace stem, handlebar and P6 seatpost. All v light and cheap. 20lbs/9kg is the goal.
