Disc brakes are surprisingly light.

We're losing this one to stupidity. Better put tinfoil hats on to protect us

The only thing that is irritating about the flagship disc brake bikes launched this year is that they are not making the most of clearing away the calipers that make space for proper mudguards, they don't want their flagship frames to have mudguards fitted, I kind of understand but surely even club runs benefit from some guards, even pro training runs so why not add the four lugs and the brake bridge fixing?

sorry 0.5kg! the trick is to fill the carbon frame full of helium
