315r Posted December 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2009 (edited) it happened the same with the hydroxx 2. there's an article at tribalzine Do you have localized this article?Can you post it here?This could be truth because the only thing that is different between yaabaa 1499 and Hidroxx 2 is the frame.

Davetrials Posted December 24, 2009 Report Share Posted December 24, 2009 Are you sure cos you weighed it in the worse way possible.weigh it properly just to check.and more so can you even feel that its ways 11kg?or are u just being picky?

totaltrials Posted December 24, 2009 Report Share Posted December 24, 2009 (edited) Weigh it properly, using more accurate scales ?¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?¿? Edited December 24, 2009 by totaltrials Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Vandart Posted December 24, 2009 Report Share Posted December 24, 2009 If it is indeed the correct weight of your bike then this is evidence to support the idea that "20g here 30g there" bike diet is correct.A good example of variation between different individual items of the same product is tyres.I have a try all sticky mod rear tyre that should weigh about 1050g or thereabouts new.Now mines as bald as a coot and therefore should weigh a good bit less.Well it doesn't.I weighed it when I changed it yesterday and it weighed 1200g who knows what it weighed new probably 1500g.So if you have extreme of discrepancy in the claimed weight and actual weight in two tyres then you are looking a 1kg just from the tyres.Add that to 10g here and there over the whole bike and it'll soon add up I suppose.

Greetings Posted December 24, 2009 Report Share Posted December 24, 2009 No way that weighs 11,3kgs. Thats roughly how much a Deng bike on Urban parts would weigh.Seriously, 11,3 is insanely heavy for a trials bike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surprising my bike weigh 11,3 Kg!!!! This is to much! moreover in the specifications of the bike in all webs said 9,8.Its shocking, when i weighed myself at home on some £20 scales from argos.....i was 74kg, then i went to the gym and used some accurate scales and it told me i was 78kg! dont worry...after getting all angry and flustered, i complained to the gym..came straight back home, found an internet forum and asked everyone what happened*edit - phew...i just weight myself properly on scales i knew were exactly accurate, and it turns out..i was around 78kg - i then realised, that i shouldnt get so worked up on a number some scales give me if im happy with things anyway Edited December 25, 2009 by chris4stars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

315r Posted December 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 25, 2009 (edited) I can't understand why people start to joking with this topic, I just was concerned after weigh my bike in not apropiated weigher and just want an opinion if this weigh can be possible. For sure the option that i used to weigh my bike is not apropiated but i don't have other and is not for that people start to joke with this.Anyway, thanks for apropiated comments and for all others you can continue joking if that makes you happy. For sure, you are extremelly clever and never ask inapropiated questions in forums. At least now I know what i have to do:1- Weigh again in apropiated scale.2- Don't start a topic in this forum unless it was extremelly clever, if not some people may feel offended....... EDIT: maybe the expresion "i'm angry" in the first topic is not correct maybe is better "I'm confused" or "I'm concerned" if is it the starter of jokes, but excuse me, english is not my mother language like you can see.EDIT 2: i have modified the first topic.EDIT 3: I'm very happy with my bike, i like it to much, I just was confused with the first measurement.

chris4stars Posted December 25, 2009 Report Share Posted December 25, 2009 since its christmas, i'll try to take this seriously and be of some sort of help this time....how is the weight increase possible? im not sure..you have the bike, and it would be alot easier to do a little homework firsttarty bikes seems to have the weight of almost all of thier products on thier website...if they dont have one you need, im sure they would have something similar, and this could give you a good idea of the weights certain components should bealot of people have kitchen scales that go up to about 5kg..hopefully you or a friend will have a set?with the scales and that info, you can work out what your wheels should weigh..and check each one with relative accuracy, then check other parts and probably work most of this conundrum out yourself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaRtZ Posted December 25, 2009 Report Share Posted December 25, 2009 please..just...go for a bike ride.who gives a shit if your bike is 3 kg heavier. If it bothers you that much (this goes for anyone btw) go 'pump some iron' seriouslywhat happened to when it was about riding the bike, not weighing it?!

I'm very happy with my bike and it rides amazing, But just because this is a trial forum i though that can be a interesting topic to coment...If Ali C and Jambo said that his bikes have more or less the same weigh I'm more unconcerned Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali C Posted December 26, 2009 Report Share Posted December 26, 2009 well, maybe I wasn't being quite honest My comp bike weighs around 10kg, thats with some super light parts (ti bb, pedals axles trialtech sl rims ect) but also some heavier stuff too (rain king rear tyre, 200mm rotor, vee brake with adaptor and booster).However, my street bike weighs 11.5kg with no light weight parts and a saddle, but I have now taken the brakes off and fitted some lighter tyres and its now around 10.3kg.Stick with the heavier weight for now, but if you do comps next year, you could put some lighter parts on before them.
