swap the pedals and maybe lose the slime in the tubes or just go tubeless

Shimano XT cranks and DT 1750 wheelset. That'll get you started

So? Don't ask questions like this if you already know what you want. XT cranks are excellent, pull your head out.

All those parts are heavy as hell. easton carbon bars. thomson stem. any light post and seat there are millions. light pedals there are millions just pick any which one you want. It isn't hard man. Just pick a part and buy a new one that is lighter. Any man that needs help to do that is crazy. Just do it.

Dura-ace cassette, Stan's tubeless, Ti shock spring, SDG Ibeam system. That should do it for a reasonable amount of money.

best way to do it is search the net for all the weights of the parts u have or weigh them if u have the means...make a chart and go from there..but for a small list

pedals - low pro mag 2 or atomlab aircorp (preference part)- will save about 50g only
stem - thomson
seat post - thomson
tires - maxxis minion freeride tires (if u think u can get away with them)- can save around a pound
if u keep the tires u have on there now then theres no need for slim tubes
spring - ti
cassette - dura-ace cassette
