What is the lightest bottom bracket i can buy for a MTB, still kinda strong though. I thought about just running my cranks without a BB, but the grinding noise would probably hurt my ears a little so i decided against it.

sean,

are you refering to the external BB cups for a axel?
if he wanted to go on a 3 peice route he can get the deity crank with the ti spindle, 1.75 pounds for around 300$

It doesnt really matter. I have some gravity lights right now but im trying to get some xts on their to save some weight. If I need to purchase a certain crank so that i have the lightest setup then i will. So with the polyurithane thing can i use xts or my fsa's with it?

Gravity Lights with the Mega Exo BB are 794 grams. Can't get much lighter than that (without worrying).
