My post is fairly light (Thomson) but I guess I could take my seat off when I ride a trail that I have to stand on most of the time anyways.
Good call, rankin.

Fusel oil - - an ultra-low-molecular-weight oil. Comes with an added bonus dual-use

It’s probably not the lightest; but for sheer ease of use, I’d go with castor oil - - your brakes will bleed themselves!

Just take Junkyards advice and take a dump before you ride. Hell, just take off your front wheel, you don't need it anyways. That removes wheel, tire and front brake weight! And just to make sure, weigh both brake sets and see which ones lighter, then put the lighter one on the back.

lay off that bag of doritos and let the brakes sit.
if you're really that competitive, why aren't you going V-brake? ... or smaller rotors? maybe mech discs?
heck, instead of sticking it here on the forums, go get on your trainer.
in addition to the "take a dump" idea, don't forget to get your hair cut...

One word: drillium.
Or you could transfer parts over to that first Komodo frame. A Fox fork unicycle would be ultralight, like 10 pounds.

Lucky you went with hydros, cable discs have a lot less power and you can't skid on trails if you don't have the braking power of hydros. Though I do wonder whether you're experienced enough to use hydros.
What galsses do you ride with? I heard Ryders Glasses are ultralight.
