Those wheels weigh a ton, if you wanna make it lighter you should definatley go for a lighter wheelset. Maybe a Mavci 721 rim with hope pro 2 hubs

Profile cranks are some of the lightest, and if you are willing to pay the money, you can get titanium axels and other titanium accesories to make them even lighter
