shaper Posted March 13, 2015 Posted March 13, 2015 Go to a fishing tackle shop, you can pick up and electronic hanging scale 0-40kgs for like R150.... is pretty accurate. I see there some scaley characters on this thread

Mats Posted March 13, 2015 Posted March 13, 2015 Never ever eva weigh your bike.It will just feel heavy the next time you ride it.
SAGecko Posted March 13, 2015 Posted March 13, 2015 Go to a fishing tackle shop, you can pick up and electronic hanging scale 0-40kgs for like R150.... is pretty accurate. R150.00!!! So expensive. Rather scale one bro'.
NixM Posted March 13, 2015 Posted March 13, 2015 If you were in CT you could use my WeiHang digital scale - genuine that's what its called
dman2 Posted March 13, 2015 Posted March 13, 2015 To weight accurately, you need to be at sea level on the equator.Sorry in JHB will just not do!
eddy Posted March 13, 2015 Posted March 13, 2015 A lot of people have weighed in with their opinions but now one has given a balanced view. In reality, either you are a weight weeny and you already own a scientifically calibrated electronic scale capable of detecting differences in Atomic mass, of you are not, in which case it does not matter. Either way, the secret to a light bicycle on a scale is to remove the bottle cages,pedals and to drain the sealant from your paper thin tyres
RocknRolla Posted March 13, 2015 Posted March 13, 2015 R150.00!!! So expensive. Rather scale one bro'.Theft carries a heavy sentance...
RocknRolla Posted March 13, 2015 Posted March 13, 2015 It's easy. You tell yourself, " man, but my bike is light"And then make sure you never ride or pick up another bike, ever. Then the fact that your bike is " the lightest I have ever ridden" stands true. Easy, ignorance is bliss.
shaper Posted March 13, 2015 Posted March 13, 2015 Don't forget to take off pedals, saddle bag, pump, bottle cages etc ... so you can compare and quote in a similar manner to bike companies!
RocknRolla Posted March 13, 2015 Posted March 13, 2015 Flip, I hope brickleberry's bike comes in well under 9kgs at least...all this build up then to be dropped like a tonne of bricks....
Brickleberry Posted March 13, 2015 Author Posted March 13, 2015 Flip, I hope brickleberry's bike comes in well under 9kgs at least...all this build up then to be dropped like a tonne of bricks....Haha, I hope so too. It was 9,2 kgs apparently new. So with all the money spent it better be under 9. Not a huge issue for me, would just like an idea of what it weighs. No weight weenie at all, it's a alu road frame with low spec components mostly.
