Not the cheapest way but I could drop a bit more weight by changing to the X-1's. I might actually do that on my other builds. I was able to get some aluminum butterflies that were anodized black to drop the weight on the X-2's to around 176g and it was still cheaper than buying the X-1's.

I think everyone thinks that I am made of money or something but honestly, I have been buying these parts for the good part of three years and keep upgrading different bikes to get where I am today and selling off the old stuff to keep the costs down. I have been able to get amazing deals on every single part including the carbon bits. I think people would be very surprise at what I have actually paid for these builds.
