Weight reduction is very often a gotta pay to play kind of thing.

Some old threads from racers that cut some serious weight but they are not leaving any stone unturned. We are talking grinding and cutting any extra metal from frame tabs, losing ones that are not 100% necessary, doing smaller chain conversions, drilling things out, LiPo battery, among lots of other tricks, most of that stuff isn't that expensive. Once you start milking oz's here and there with Ti bits it starts to get pricy.

You want lighter wheels... buy a set of lighter race wheels, anywhere from $1500 - $4k for the crazy stuff.
