[Rick Fisk]

Daniel,

Another way to reduce weight would be to get rid of the seat adjuster mechanism (if you haven't already removed it).

In the never ending search for weight savings (a big push might get this years 1Kg saving up to 2Kg - about 5 lbs) I realised I could replace them with aluminium alloy spacers or a hard plastic.  The seat doesn't move on the spacers it simply raises the height.  So, any reason not to use hard plastic rather than aluminium?
