Suggest some upgrades for my bike please.

It's adventure/gravel. Under-utilised for it's true purpose & mainly just used for commute at the moment.

It's Reynolds 725, so not light at all - wouldn't mind losing a few grams where possible...

Marathon are heavy. You can easily shave more than 500g here without even having to go for smaller tyres. Checkout Vittoria voyager hyper. If you're brit you can have them for cheap on planetx.

Then other options to reduce weight, but much costlier, would be lighter rims, a carbon seatpost, replacing the Hyrd brakes with Spyres, shortening the steering tube (you'd have to find a new stem with a different length/angle to make up for it. Overall you should be able to save a kilo.

Get some new wheels if you have too much money or swap tires for lighter ones. You can think about swapping forks/handlebar/seatpost for chink carbon. Shimano discs are pretty heavy too and you can swap hydraulic calipers for mechanical ones.
Also slam that stem and get SPDs
And throw that dork dick away Jesus Christ

Seriously no one leaves price tags on, for any reason. Also there is a fucking dork disc on your bike in the damn image posted.

I'm embarrassed just reading your post

That was my first post in this thread. The other guy(s) called your dork disc a dork disc, no one said anything about your brake rotor.

multiple people being stupid doesn't make them right

nobody knows what kind of bike I ride, but good guess on it having "dork disks" [sic] front and rear

protip: dork disks have been around for ages and they have nothing to do with "making me upgrade so the mean jewish bike companies can make money"

I thought you were trolling, know you have shown us the truth.

Please stop, he called dork disk because that's the name of that piece, dork disc or pie plate, the plastic piece, not the fucking brake , you fucking retard. If you lack knwoledge, at least don't troll people with your stupidity.

Drok disc =/= brake rotor

If you're OP and that is your bike then you indeed have a dork disc on your rear wheel.

>protip: dork disks have been around for ages and they have nothing to do with "making me upgrade so the mean jewish bike companies can make money"
No shit, they've existed for longer than any of us have been riding bikes. Their purpose is to prevent idiots that can't setup a rear derailer from damaging the derailer or wheel.

weigh the wheels. If they're over 2kg for a set, they're up for an upgrade. If you ever intend to do some gravel riding - slap the current ones back on.

You don't need very strong wheels for gravel riding, it's barely more strenuous than road riding. Over 2kg would be very heavy for a CX wheel set (and I highly doubt his are), shit a lot of 29er sets are less than that with wider rims, more spokes, and generally beefier components.
