Muel Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 Yeh as has been said, change the frame. Next is probably the tyres, that's a heavy combination! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G-baby158 Posted March 13, 2009 Report Share Posted March 13, 2009 (edited) okay ?Mate, shup. If you had bothered using the search you would of seen there is loads of topics on making bikes lighter. If your really that bothered about weight of your bike you shouldn't be riding trials really should you. Think about back in the old skool days when there bikes were like the weight of BMX's. Plus you saying about weighing less it really dont matter if you weigh less, your proberly got no muscles and thats why you need a lighter bike for it to be easier for you to lift. to be honest f**k the weight and just have fun onit.

If so, then you'll know it makes a huge difference and makes your life a lot easier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skoze Posted March 13, 2009 Report Share Posted March 13, 2009 Mate, shup. If you had bothered using the sreach you would of seen there is loads of topics on making bikes lighter. It's a simple question, asked nicely.If your really that bothered about weight of your bike you shouldn't be riding trials really should you. What do you base that on? Trials bikes are getting lighter and lighter, all makes it ride better. Think about back in the old skool days when there bikes were like the weight of BMX's. That was then, this is now. Light parts didn't exist in those days, they're readily available now. Plus you saying about weighing less it really dont matter if you weigh less, your proberly got no muscles and thats why you need a lighter bike for it to be easier for you to lift. Un-called for? Yes. to be honest f**k the weight and just have fun onit.I see where you're coming from, but you could have not been such a tit about the way you said it...

kyeo00 Posted March 14, 2009 Report Share Posted March 14, 2009 Hmmm.. I'd say- but a new frame, there's some sickly light ones on tarty..Also, you could always ride without a bash guard ;P But, that's not really recommended. Mat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex Dark Posted March 15, 2009 Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 The number of times I've heard that one, or equally rubbish ones...How does having a shit make your bike lighter?its so different changing your body mass...and changing the weight of the lump of metal you're throwing around....Does taking a shit make weight lifting easier? No....reducing the weight does, hence: light bikes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No....reducing the weight does, hence: light bikesBut your weight/mass will have a direct impact on the collective. You're not just throwing a lump of metal around. You're attached to it.

Jack Morton Posted March 15, 2009 Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 I recomend drilling you're frame for a start just little things on it though like headtube , wheel dropouts ( dont go to mad ) , Take of bash plate and replace with bash ring and in doing this you can grind of you're bashplate mounts , they nitromorse you're frame paint makes you're bike weight more You then go out and buy some cheaper components for it although what you have got on it are rather light parts And then when you're frame eventually cracks or snaps go and buy a new frame due to the frame you have got at the minute weights alotHope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
