Am starting to implement weight slashing measures to lighten up my bike

As I accompanied Vhen to  Missing Link bike shop in Eastwood, I saw lightweight parts that are parts of my recent post to reduce bike weight:

1.  Superlite tubes by Kenda  @ P280.00 each (They discounted mine to P240.00 dahil bumili ng Ridley frame kasama ko.
2 Salsa Gel Cork tape  (baka mga 50 grams lang ito)   P700.00 discounted price.
3.   Jagwire Road Pro Kit (Celeste green ang color)   30% lighter daw cable outer, Teflon coated ang cables @ P1,100.  {{1.350) listed price)

There was a Kenda Kaliente tire priced at P2,000 that weighs only 190 grams, lighter than GP 4000.  Later na lang 23C kasi   Kenda Kaliente Superpro  (maproblema?)

So how much can you save with light tires:

                Tires    Ordinary tires 400 grams -   190  -   210 grams  x 2   =  420 grams
                Tubes   Ordinary        150 grams       90         60 grams x 2   =  120 grams

                                                                  Thats                                       540 grams

 Thats about the same weight you chop off a Shimano Durace   vs 105;   or a carbon frameset

I also found out that the weight of SRAM red is lesser than Durace;   less than 2 kg (1,900) the latest which cost P100,000+ is 200 grams lighter.  I am looking at 2nd hand that is affordable
