You just have to work out what you need.
What I would do is collect all the bolts you wana replace and measure them all for length and Di.
Then you know what you need to order..

Derailer cable pinch bolts, cable guide bolt, bottle cage bolts and front mech clamp bolts can all be alloy.
Light weight top cap and extralite expander plug.
And replace any steel bolts on your stem and any light or garmin mounts with ti
Over a whole bike you could have 50-80g but a big chunk of that is the expander plug and top cap set up.

I can’t find a category on Fairwheel’s site. Where did you find these parts & about how much of the weight savings do the small nuts & bolts represent?

Which is around 12.5lbs.. It’s what you don’t see here that matters. Every bolt and fixture has been thought about and replaced with lighter components where ever possible. The re mech looks pretty stock but comes in at 145g. The devil is in the details ;)

Most of the components, although very nice, are not super light. (With the exception of the crankset, saddle & perhaps the brakes). I would estimate it’s weight to be more in the low 13 pound range. Having said that, I would sure love to own it.

My first foray into using carbon wheels in the wet was a run through the RNP south of Sydney in poring rain and descents reaching speeds of 70kph. I’ve crashed it too hence the upgrade to 2012 SR and a vow never to run conti tubs ever again. And I stared racing it 4 weeks ago in one of Sydney’s fastest and roughest crit series.. It’s an awesome bike and its about a month off its 10000km mark. I’ll very likely buy another parlee and prolly a z5 they are a shit hot frame set
