nigelhicks Posted November 17, 2011 Posted November 17, 2011 ha ha ... best i don't weigh Karen's TRc then ... small frame & with a lighter build kit - full XX w Chris King/355s and T40 bars & stem. i do hear sub 11?gBUT GIRKEN ... not all of us are specced with all the Factory kit like you and Karen are ... bloody unfair ... I want world cup spec parts for free too! hahaahha
(Deon) Posted November 17, 2011 Posted November 17, 2011 ha ha ... best i don't weigh Karen's TRc then ... small frame & with a lighter build kit - full XX w Chris King/355s and T40 bars & stem. i do hear sub 11?g ah geez, that's it, I'm going to take off the mudguard and pump. I'll also call it my lighter build kit.. Thanks G! Now here is an idea and tell me it it will float (pun, you'll see).. what if frames were airtight and helium was pumped in at the factory. Would it make a difference?
(Deon) Posted November 17, 2011 Posted November 17, 2011 GIRKEN BWAAHHA HA HA ! Click, I get it. Funny guy! Hey, what'd you think of Tokai?
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted November 17, 2011 Posted November 17, 2011 ah geez, that's it, I'm going to take off the mudguard and pump. I'll also call it my lighter build kit.. Thanks G! Now here is an idea and tell me it it will float (pun, you'll see).. what if frames were airtight and helium was pumped in at the factory. Would it make a difference? Dude, I can't remove ANYTHING to give mine a "lighter build kit" when your frame weighs just over 5kg, without the fork, it's kinda hard...
jimmy hardtail Posted November 17, 2011 Posted November 17, 2011 Helium has weight like any gas. Better to suck all the air out and have a vacuum. Some race cars have air tight chassis tubes with a valve and a pressure gauge. You can pump up the chassis and if the pressure drops on the gauge then you know there is a crack somewhere.
DJR Posted November 17, 2011 Posted November 17, 2011 BUT GIRKEN ...Chirp of the day. Serves him right for riding a nearly nonexistent bike!

Ah, ok so it won't float then. Bummer. I get pumping up the chassis to check for cracks, but does having a vacuum offer any weight advantage?
jimmy hardtail Posted November 18, 2011 Posted November 18, 2011 Sucking all the air out of your frame might save a few grams but you will add more than that trying to seal it up in the first place. So not worth it
