I used a hole saw and a die grinder to lighten my spindles. Hardly worth the time but I enjoyed it. Shaved off around half a pound total. If I was dropping off cliffs and such I would not have touched them. I don't ride that hard. The next step is to weld some 4130 a arms and stick some fox float 2s on there. Not till next year. I spent all my allowance for this year!
