If I had to replace one part...

[MrVandal]

Hi

I love my Cannondale bike, I don't really want to replace it, but maybe spice it up a little. If I were to replace one part to make my bike that bit lighter, which part would it be?
The wheels? The fork?

Thanks
Brent

Better wheels would be my first upgrade.

Definitely the wheels..Replaced mine and my bike looks well smart .Not bothered about them being lighter, don't think it matters that much at my level..

Wheels and tyres

Tyres.

The rider?

Tyres, then wheels, then 'other stuff', as and when it wears out...

The first thing to upgrade on any modern Cannondale is the stooopid BB30 bottom bracket.

Although that won't affect weight, so for the benefit of keeping OT it's another vote for wheels and tyres.

Potsy, have you been speaking to my wife? You are right of course a few more kg off my body weight would make a difference, but a little present for my Cannondale is not a bad thing.

Guys and Gals your knowledge and thought has been brilliant. Thank you so much for all your replies. Have a wonderful New Year and stay safe out there.

Peace

Don't think it matters at my level either, but a wee present for my bike can give me an illusion of going faster.

Wheels would be my choice I think..

Wheels first then other things you could always upgrade the crankset if you have square tapered bb replace this with external bb can save some weight there.
