Looking to Lighten Ellsworth Truth

[centexells]

Hi guys i have a 2010 Ellsworth Truth and am looking for some ideas on getting it a little lighter for next years race season.

I race it alot and ride it hard, so durability cannont be compromised, im also tall and weigh 190 so that is another factor.

The only thing that i cannont afford to change right now is the wheels, but even if i could i don't think i would the wheels i have are 6 years old and have only needed one truing and still are perfectly straight.

Here is how it is currently built

Frame: 2010 Ellsworth Truth
Fork: 2006 Reba
Rear Shock: Fox tuned by Ellsworth
Wheels: DT swiss 4.2 XR w/240s and 28 DT comps per wheel
QRs: Salsa
Tires: Racing Ralph 2.0 (f), Fast Track 2.0 (r)
Crank: XTR 44/32
Shifters: XT rear, XT front
FD: XT
RD: XT shadow
Cassette: XT 11-32
Chain: SRAM 971
Brakes: Juicy 5
Brake Rotors: HSX
Stem: Pro XCR
Bars: Ritchey WCS carbon low rise
Grips: ESI Racer
Seatpost: Thomson Elite
Saddle: Fizik Tundra Kium
Seatpost Clamp: Ellsworth
Headset: Cane Creek Zero
Cage: Arundel
Pedals: CB Egg Beaters 2

Its current weight is 25.43, i have had it as low as 24.6 with different tires.

I would like to get it to around the 24.5 mark, which i think is doable without alot of money, it would be awesome to get the 23.5 but that would require some new wheels and that is not in the budget.

Thanks,

How much are you looking to spend?

Obvious two places are the forks and wheels but you say you don't want to spend that much. Anything else isn't really going to make much of a dent overall as nothing you have is particularly heavy (and all seems good quality). You can save a few grams here and there but in the end it may work out cheaper (and more effective) to just change the wheels.

My budget would probably be around 700-800.

As for the wheels i could probably get some i just didn't want to spend that money as i just spent money on new tubbies for the cx bike.

My shop has some Easton XC carbons hanging on the wall i could get for a good deal or a pair of enve's.

I would start with brakes and a cassett.

If you've got the budget, go for some lighter wheels - you'll notice the weight loss much more there than probably anywhere else also.
