that`s the full Ti brake kit:
4 brakepadcarrier-bolts : steel 23g / Ti 14g....-9g
4 nuts: steel 13g (short ones!) / Ti 8g...-5g
4 Canti bolts: steel 14g / Ti 11g...-3g
2 cable stop nuts: steel ca. 8g / Ti 6g...-2g

total weight savings with that Ti-Kit : ca. 20g

Ti is expensive and not necessary everywhere.save more with Aluminum and Ti combined:

4 brakepadcarrier-bolts : steel 23g / Ti 14g....-9g
4 nuts: steel 13g / Al 4g...-9g
4 Canti bolts: steel 14g / Al 6g...-8g
2 cable stop nuts: steel ca. 8g / Al 3g...-5g

total weight saving with Ti / Al : 32g and much cheaper too!

see my avid mags: Al cable stop nuts/AL canti bolts / Al padcarrier nuts.sorry for the bad quality
I seem to remember it was around 22g (nm)Metroid
