Bragcord, what's the weight of the frame and the weight of the wheels.

 

Asking cause my frame is 1.25kg, my wheels 1.8kg and my groupset lighter than xt. Using extralite handelbar and stem, which weighs nothing and a ec90 seatpost.

 

My bike is still over 10kg.

 

I know the sid world cup is 200g lighter than my reba race

All good and well but you need to weigh bikes on the same scale or the weights will always differ, some scales are really off by a good margin.

 

I still feel that the commencal is probly heavier heavier - my gt comes in at 9,3 with podium mmx wheels, full xtr sans the cassete, the same kcnc parts, the same fork etc. Ok the gt carbon frame is heavy at around 1,4- 1,6kg so maybe the alu commencal is lighter, but the wheels are around 300g lighter. Maybe it just makes up the difference from the frame ?

Not trying to ditch the weight or anything. Just looking for ideas to save weight on my bike.

My extra lite stem - 95g

Handlebar - 105g

Selle italia saddle - 135g

EC90 - 195g

Tyres (680g + 590g) - changing to rocket ron non ust this week

So 'n bek moet jam kry, ek oorweeg sterk om terug te gaan na 'n hardtail toe.
