forgetting vernier and sticking with a normal duplex kit, could it be lightened any further than the lightened version you can buy?

You could possibly get away with joining every 2 holes together to make 4 slots but why not buy the Swifty alloy centre set or the MED all alloy set?

The Swifty one is quite cheap, not sure about the MED one though
I seriously doubt it! |

So what do you achieve by lightening this a further 29 grammes? On 13th Jul, 2012 Ben H said:
Mine gets in the way a bit, but only when it is up. If it is down it does not cause a problem. |

changing the subject slightly, i've been looking at the MED all alloy set, and been offered the minispeed vernier belt drive kit for the same price, so belt or chain? (chain noise is not an issue, changing belts not an issue either) |
