    As far as I can gather the UN54 weighs about 290g.

    Are there any lightweight alternatives that don’t cost the earth?

    If youre sticking with square taper, AFAIK, to reduce weight, you need to go into Ti territory, so the possible answer to your question is no. – But I could be wrong 🙂

    The UN72 seems to be a bit lighter (about 220g) but can’t find them anywhere!

    Cheers need a 68×113 so the one selling 2 different bb’s would be ok.
