>>1205066Stop buying low level pedals and get something with a replaceable wear plate and bearings.
Lighter is better desu, tyres, rims, and pedals is where weight savings truly matter anon.
Also, consider moving to shimano blue cleats; thank me later. Red can be useful if you're a genetic freak or are doing a lot of heavy efforts for road or track and can afford a good physio/chiro.
