I've posted about this project bike before, it's an old xc beater which I'm currently trying to trim into my tarmac/winter training bike.
So far I've changed the heavy as fuck Suntour fork for a 800g aliexpress chink carbon fork and put on some faster rolling tires.
Thing is it still weighs nearly 13 kgs, probably due to the wheelset and the low spec drivetrain. What would be the most cost effective way to further improve performance going from here? My guess is better xc wheelset and go tubeless, but any input is appreciated
