SeanMort Posted January 6, 2012 Posted January 6, 2012 is that really true, surely the cross section has way more to do with it than a few kgs here and there. i wouldn't know myself, i have four bikes and heaviest one is actually the roadbike(13kg ocr3 - there's nothing wrong with sora, baby) Minimising your drag into the wind is very significant but weight borne momentum, more especially downhill, also plays a small part.
chris_w_65 Posted January 6, 2012 Posted January 6, 2012 No, that is not an urban legend, but the weights are not £dropped" into the seat tube. They actually fit into the feame. Different weights for different wheelsets to always have the bike exactly 6,8kg http://www.bikeradar.com/gear/article/pro-bike-vincenzo-nibalis-liquigas-cannondale-supersix-evo-30367/ Edit:spelling I see Nibali uses one of those anti chain drop devices. He won't be caught out like Schleck :clap:
Weight Weenie Posted January 6, 2012 Posted January 6, 2012 Seeing as I use mine for training it must be heavier or equal to my mtb. Thus wire tyres, slime and tyre liners
