With the recently published measurements, I don't expect the saving to be significant, but even half a kilo could be substantial inn bike touring!
BTW, which version of the Cubby do you have: 3 or 4?
My lock with its bag weigh close to 2kg, so I am actually not that far away.
I had an early version of Chubby 4, before they started making different versions for different bikes. I paid under $500 at the time, i.e. it was a very good deal.
Is the titanium rack something you would advise to look into? Have you got a link to it? I strengthened the original Brompton rack and also put side roller wheels onto it, that really enhance the maneuverability of the folded bike, so I am not very eager to jump onto another rack, but one should always keep the eyes open.
