Good question. Peter from CarbonSpeed (who's on this forum petercycles@foxmail.com) sent me a frame where the QR were 60g, it's the lowest i've seen. You could ask him, i guess. I assume my scale is correct. Ususally they're more like 80-90g.
Maybe Aliexpress? I haven't looked myself but if someone finds a link, i could be interested.
Bear in mind there are LOTS of sizes, so you'd have to be sure you're buying the exact format you need.
if you want an exotic version, i m sure weight weenies forum will have an answer for you, not sure how much you want to spend.

I got the same axles as Serge with my TT-X34 yesterday. They are about 3g heavier.

maybe they are some sort of this one here.

At least they should be quite the same weight.

I use j&l thru axles on my vb-r-168 that you can get on ebay

My stock vb axles were 79g for the set and my j&l axles are 50g

Ive attached a picture of the specs of the stock axles

i got the pinarello rear which fit perfectly and the closest they had for the front from what i found was cervelo which is 3mm shorter than the original(original is 130mm and the j&l are 127mm)

(yup, im aware its old thread, but still relevant to my question)

sup guys,
its nov11 week sales, so im thinking to look for 100x12 n 142x12 light/good thru axles.
also if the end has the removable(or permanent) latch where we can remove/tighten toolless is bonus.

any aliEx recommendations?
im seeing heppe brand. not familiar with those

I bought from here https://a.aliexpress.com/_EGN7CSH
I forgot the weight, but I bought them because of the weight. Replaced the stock ones on my LT268. Happy with them. And cheap too. From memory very similar to those sold by Peter.
Make sure you buy EXACTLY the right reference. It's not standard at all.
