wheels the biggest weight savings would come from ditching the disk brakes for V's; fitting lighter forks; getting a lightweight racing saddle; and using SPD pedals.but that's frankly not worth it as you then have to change the brakes back to be a decent
my first season of tri with MTB shoes as that was what I had, don't think it made a lot of difference! The sights I have seen at Tri's make me think turn up in whatever you are comfortable in and enjoy it! Certainly an MTB with slick tyres and SPD
