Muel Posted August 2, 2007 Report Share Posted August 2, 2007 So does mine, I just ride it.Or get ready to spend lots of money, its not like you can remove bits you don't need. They did that a while ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walleee Posted August 2, 2007 Report Share Posted August 2, 2007 it's not really heavy, butnot light either.To remove weight you could remove some components, or replace them with lighter equivalents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muel Posted August 2, 2007 Report Share Posted August 2, 2007 Its surprising how it all adds up, you can save up to 100 grams changing your cranks, 200 doing your tyres, and then that all adds up to several kilograms in some cases.Just check out Tarty Adam Monty.Or a standard Koxx.

Krisboats Posted August 2, 2007 Report Share Posted August 2, 2007 My T-rex weighs 10.5kg so yeah, i'd say thats a heavy mod. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamR28 Posted August 2, 2007 Report Share Posted August 2, 2007 And what about the rest of the bike? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onza Kieron Posted August 2, 2007 Report Share Posted August 2, 2007 Weight and strength seem to go hand in hand so if you start fitting plastic parts you might find problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Quigley Posted August 2, 2007 Report Share Posted August 2, 2007 It should weigh the sum of all it's parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greetings Posted August 2, 2007 Report Share Posted August 2, 2007 10kgs is probably fairly standard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Rankin Posted August 2, 2007 Report Share Posted August 2, 2007 19 lb or lighter is a light mod, but go to the worlds and pick up a some of the bikes the riders have there (custom frames in some cases) and you will be amazed how light they can get.light is the new black Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Janson Posted August 2, 2007 Report Share Posted August 2, 2007 That was probably the worst comparison ever... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paolo Posted August 2, 2007 Report Share Posted August 2, 2007 That was probably the worst comparison ever...Yeah, coke cans are made out of 1000 series alloys, bikes are 6000-7000 series... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing like my Zona, but still stiffer than a lot of other bikes I have ridden. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
