I've weighed a bunch of CF cages and despite their "claims" the range is 19-48g...all over the map and usually a lot more than they claim (I weighed all without any hardware or screws) IRD were the lightest but to me they look like bottle ejectors. (DaveD, if he's around should report on his.) Elite stainless come in at 48g. I use Arundel. They claim 25g but came in at 33g. My point being....dont' trust the manufacturer to be honest with the gram scale. Duh! Post Extras
