Yeah agreed, DJ's are heavy and you can get much lighter ones, pricey though, cranks come loose and aren't the most reliable so you could get other aswell, again pricey depending on which you get, rims aswell possibly? forgot what ones you have, but yeah, to make your bike more pimped out its pretty much main things and to make it lighter also

there might not be anything wrong with them, but you wanted to "pimp" your bike
and pimping your bike might mean replacing parts that work perfectly fine for better parts. so i agree, lose those garbage marzo's and throw a 3 piece crank in, than change up your wheel set, including the hubs.
