The official weight weenies thread

[gummibear]

Therein lies the joke .... is he a fatty or a loose forward?

 

He has now gone and bought a very light carbon seat post and 2 bolt stem.

[Zac.A]

Are those actual weights or taken off the product sites?

Best value for money were the Planet X stems at 126gr for R230.

ENVE stems are very nice.

 

Taken off Bike24 and then double checked on other sites.

I trust the Germans to weigh everything meticulously

But either way, they will come with big savings in grams and won't dent the pocket too badly.

I actually prefer the feel of my steel road bike and it's nice and heavy.

 

Weird.

[Capcha]

Technically speaking i have lost 8kg which means my bike weighs in the negative kg when im on it. Does this count?

Dropping body weight is probably the hardest thing to do than just dropping your wallet. 8kg is impressive.

The top clamp on this looks amazing, that's where most of the weight in a seat post seems to go.

Fat boys should not be looking to spend $ on lighter kit! Sort out their BMI first!

Ja, I am fat at 85 kg's and 2.2 metres tall.

Need a definition of BMI? Want to know how to work it out? You're actually a skinny runt with a BMI of 17.56! But as you know, light weight components are for small skininy guys
