Have you tried to lighten your Vado 5 SL?

Like, upgrade the wheelset, switch to some carbon components? If you have tried to get the weight down, what did you do, and how far did you get?

Lol, I gotta get rid of that COVID weight above the saddle first!

I swapped wheelset, hub, tubes and tires. Goal wasn't about dropping weight but moreso improving ride quality. And the improvement is noticeable. I'm not sure what the net change in weight is.
