Guest Agteros Posted March 27, 2009 Share these might be considered impractical, but are designed to test the limits of how far you are willing to go: paint stripper? no slime in wheels? remove all padding from saddle? cut knobblies of tyre? go v-brake i.s.o. disks?

Cassie Posted March 27, 2009 Share remove all your contact details in your mobile phone He he he he.... What about drilling some holes all over the frame...in the non essential places where structural damage is limited? Personally I can loose 5kg's off my bike by just having a decent crapparooo!!
