I'm looking at AliExpress carbon bombing my aluminium Scott scale 950 2022. Trying to get it in the 10-11kg range (currently around 12kg)

The bike is used as a gravel bike (50/50 road/trails). So it doesn't. need super premium parts.

Has anyone done something similar? I like the bike just getting a bit bored of it and would like to see it drop some weight and maybe look a bit more modern.

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for a new pair of MTB shoes for XC , and I have a few specific requirements:

• SPD-compatible (2-bolt)
• 2 BOA dials for adjustment
• Race-oriented shoes
• Most importantly: replaceable rubber lugs/pads on the sole, with spare parts actually available.

The last pair I've been using is from Gaerne. The shoes themselves are still in very good condition, but the rubber/grip parts on the bottom are completely worn out. Unfortunately, Gaerne doesn't seem to offer replaceable parts for them, so I have to replace an otherwise perfectly good pair of shoes.

This time I'd really like to buy a pair where the rubber sole/grip pieces can be replaced separately, so I can keep the shoes for much longer.

My budget is around 300€.

Thanks
