The headset solution is outrageous on such a bike, there must be a solution for another cable guidance piece under the stem, maybe you could get one from someone who 3D prints one following exact mesurements but changing the shape. The top edge should be straight and not curved like the original. Anyways, always top quality videos from you and great guidance about how to upgrade bikes with well thought ideas, keep on rocking man!

It’s a really nice bike, well done getting it down to that weight and nicely built up too. This has been my Dilemma with disc brake bikes, it’s so hard to get them down to this weight, in the end I went with a rim brake Bianchi Specialissima as I only weigh 53 kilos so rim brakes stop me no problem, it built up to 6.1 kilos without having to try too hard, just standard Sram red Etap 2x set up, Campagnolo Bora wheels, and that weight includes the pedals, power meter, Garmin mounts and bottle cages, now if I had spent £1100 on THM Carbon brake callipers it would be under 6 🤔, tune qr skewers would take another 50g off 🙈, Lightweight wheels another 200g off, oh this is going to cost me 🤪 Please keep up the good work with great quality videos.

@@ridesofjapan it’s a cheap experiment, and it doesn’t impact braking performance for the vast majority of the riders. The fins are only worth it if you’re a notorious “brake dragger” on very long and sustained descends and weigh a lot as a person. For all other riders the non-fin pads are more than adequate. And at 10€/set they are cheaper than the finned ones (at 25€/set).
