Trimming the steerer tube portion down to its minimum height will shave 35-40 grams off the weight depending on the height of your stem (typically 38-45mm). To further reduce weight, you can also then trim the unused portion of the steel stud (on underside of the top cap going to the cone wedge) to remove another ~20 grams. You’ll want to paint the cut face to keep it from rusting or at least coat it with grease.

So starting from 265 grams, you should be at 205-210 grams once cut down.
