Also the "motor" sweeks was talking about was you. It was a joke to lose some weight from yourself rather than a couple grams here and there on a really lightweight bike.

Ahhh, yeah I found those after being curious, was hoping you had found a different source because it looks like Ti Parts Workshop doesn't have it on their website anymore and that worries me.

I also don't relate to your desire to shave this particular weight off that bike, but you did, in fact, seem to find exactly the solution intended for you, very specifically, so that's cool. I would definitely do exactly that, since there's extraordinarily little market for light mid reach calipers.

Jagwire Elite Link is the way to go and not necessarily just weight more that they are super smooth cables and the outer casing is quite flexible and very much reusable for a long time just replace the plastic liner and even that can be more easily cleaned if you really wanted to reuse it. But yes they are quite light.
