lose the front brake, make seat tilted, and don't have reflectors on it

after some time, I decide not to remove front break just yet. cuz I use this bike for many things.
I'm going to buy --
spider seat- 150g ( or senso 1200- 210g )
wellgo mg1- 350g ( it's cheaper in CN !! )
OTA seat post 380mm- 210g ( going to cut half of it down)
FSA carbon fiber bar- 210g

there is a question,
I'm buying a wheel set, but how is double butted spokes? are they holding up in street trial riding?
I've searched around, but there is no clear answer to this matter.
If I get :
spank tweet rim + hope pro 2 ss hub + DTswiss 2.0/1.8/2.0 spokes + pro lock nipple

how dose this look? is this a good wight to strength set? do I need straight 2.0 spoke?

Get some Mavic 721 or MTX 29/31/33 (heavier the stronger for these).

I've had some experience with them and they're all great for the price.

MG1 pedals are a great choice! Super light and very affordable. I've been running them for quite awhile now.

Honestly hope pro 2 ss isn't that light of a hub, but it's just really durable unless you're hardcore smashing it. Makes a good investment so you don't break cheaper hubs and have to pay more money.

I wouldn't recommend carbon fibre bars. Sure they're strong and light, but carbon fibre is extremely fragile if not handled carefully. Just get some high end aluminium bars from respectable brands like easton, truvativ and chromag.

my bike is already got a lot scratch now, I think scratch isn't much problem for me.
I'm buying wheel set off CRC, tweet tweet actually is cheaper. tweet isn't very strong? I really like to have that apple red on my bike Big Grin I don't do big drops(yet),mostly jumping up down stair, crossing gap kind thing. I think the black sheep is very strong, and almost same wight as MTX, I can use these wheel if I was going to try big. but I really want to lose some wight, makes easier to manipulate in practice.

so, the spoke is good? since nobody mention it? or because nobody use it？

OK, I will looking to some more bars. thanks！
