Wanted to get some opinions on crank weight. Currently riding 3-piece cro-mo tubular cranks, 165mm, 28 tooth chainring in front. My guess is they probably weigh just under 2 pounds not counting the bottom bracket.
My bike overall is fairly heavy at 28 lbs, and I was considering swapping to St. Martin Holloflat 160mm cranks and smaller chainring to save some weight. I'm guessing I could save about a pound by doing so.
Is it worth it to spend ~$200 to save a pound of bike weight? Just curious what people think. The added benefit would be lightening the back end of the bike, which is currently much heavier than the front, and potentially improving overall balance. But again, it's like $200. Thoughts?
