This old sucker has actually narrowed around the middle which means that it constantly slips down in the tube nomatter how tight the clamp is. Time to meet the pipe cutter:

Thats about it for now, not really going too overboard for now 🙂 But out of curiosity i weighed the mech and shifter:

Sofar a weight saving of a touch over 350g for a total added cost of $0. Plus it gives me a chance to play with my new toys, the scales. Primarily bought for matching engine pistons, they obviously have other uses 🙂
