Front fender weight?

Postby hanberg » Thu Oct 10, 2013 5:51 pm

So have a carbon front fender on the way and was wondering how much lighter it might be compared to the stock one? Would measure myself, but only have a crap fiberglass that came with the bike.
Anyone know the weight of the OEM front fender, including the small brackets to hold the brakelines? 5-600 grams?

In the grand scheme of things you won't be loosing that much, a couple of hundred grams I would have thought.

I could guestimate the front fender (sans brackets) from memory last time I took it off at around 1/2 Kg.

In terms of weight savings, the best place to make it would be the wheels
