29er Dual Suspension Bike weights

[awesme]

Hi all

 

#1 what is excluded when a bike weight is normally provided... Pedals (excluded), (both Cage)

 

#2 For dual suspension 29'er, whats the weight the guys are seeing/building.

Usually pedals excluded. Depends on frame (carbon/alu) and component quality (Also a difference in weight) then lastly wheel quality. A good entry carbon dualler may be 11+kg,and some higher end duallers (with some serious weight loss) slightly below 10kg

Bike are usually weighed ready to ride, otherwise what's excluded gets a bit silly (no pedals, bottle cages, sealant, small cassette, tiny discs etc).

 

I remember Burry Stander posting pics of his 9.5kg Specialised Epic 29'er before the 2011 Absa Cape Epic. That was with pedals and a single bottle cage.

 

My Giant Anthem was about 12.5kg (depending on tyres). I weigh 95-100kg, so I built the bike strong with Thomson & Hope parts with Arch rims.

My alu Spez Camber (with dropper seatpost) is a kg heavier.

I would like to see more of the "average" bike weight here, thinking of changing, I have a Spez Camber 26" and is weighs close on 14kg.

Yes, but it only has half a fork

 

I am still not sure why it is referred to as a fork, if it doesn't fork.

Don't worry about what your bike weighs or what someone else's bike weighs. Weight is a function of gravity and there is nothing that you can do about it. Just ride your bike. If your bike weighs less than 13kg you are onto a winner.

 

I suggest you weigh your bike with tools, full water bottles, the food you will carry on the ride etc... numbers are pointless....

Why is it that people feel they can tell you what is important or not, yes I ride my bike, yes I don't care bout the weight when having fun on it,

 

But don't question my right to have the question and ask it, if you don't like it, don't read the thread.

Jip. Also wanted to say something like that.

What also matters is where the weight is. Some items like light strong rims & tubeless tyres make a bigger difference in 'bike feel'.
