It seems like parts are starting to become avalible. So has anyone been
lucky enough to get a completely new KHU. If so how are they?

For street IMO the tyre is the thing that needs to be lightest, followed
by the rim, pedals then cranks. And basically all tyres rims, and
plastic pedals are the same weight. So cranks would be a good way to
save weight. But moments are a nice shape for most stuff and basically
indestructible so I'm happy with them for now. TI cranks would sell
well though, if they were light and strong.

When I shaved my tyre which saved 200-300g unispins felt a bit easier.

Could use a strong 20" uni. Lighter rims and tire choices. Just get use
to having to be more precise. To me, that sounds like a good thing
though.

I will have the Distance tomorrow from UDCA. I will also have a Ti hub
(to be built into a wheel). Can't wait.

Yeah, my tire is already light though. Crank/pedal weight is very
important for flipping though, since it is on the outside and thus less
aerodynamic than the tire and rim and that whole shabang.
