trying to dump weight... carbon or alum. crank?
ok - purchased a kinda heavy mountain bike - bridgestone. ....considering [1] carbon crank, [2] carbon fork, [3] carbon wheels and carbon handelbars to save weight...
looking at cranks, a shimano [ultegra] weighs 3 pounds. the campy aluminum alloy crank [centaur] is 1.8 pounds...
I thought this was a misprint. the carbon crank should weigh less; right?
