trials owns Posted June 6, 2010 Report Share Posted June 6, 2010 (edited) yo everyone, right now i have got a weight hook thing and want to measure the weight of my bike, but not sure what the best accurate way is to do this. every time i do it one end lifts up and the other doesn't. i gave it a little hand lifting it up but the measurement of my onza t-bird came out as 18kg. i dont think that is right because standard its something like 12kg and have got a lot of lighter parts and a hell of a lot lighter that my mates standard t-bird. can u help please? cheers EDIT reading the scales wrong! its just about 8kg.......sorry Edited June 6, 2010 by trials owns Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Dark Posted June 6, 2010 Report Share Posted June 6, 2010 8kg...probably too light. Stand on scales, weigh yourself Grab bike, weigh yourself + bike Gross weight - your weight = bike weight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stand on scales, weigh yourself Grab bike, weigh yourself + bike Gross weight - your weight = bike weight sweet thats a good idea, i will try that tommorow and see if it actually is 8kg, its light though.

Alex Dark Posted June 6, 2010 Report Share Posted June 6, 2010 Good stuff.... doubt it's 8...as a limey 320, heavily modified, ti bits, singlewall rims and one of the lightest front tyres available is 7.8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isitafox Posted June 6, 2010 Report Share Posted June 6, 2010 I was gonna suggest goin to a butchers or farmers an ask to use the hook they use to weigh meat! Only sayin this though cause inlaws are farmers, will be doin mine next weekend hopefully!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revolver Posted June 6, 2010 Report Share Posted June 6, 2010 So, you want to weigh your bike with a hook, but it keeps touching the floor when you lift it up? Have you tried... lifting it up higher? Stand on something and lift it up, or hang the thing from the ceiling, which is what they do at the bikeshop in town. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC_IW Posted June 7, 2010 Report Share Posted June 7, 2010 Ive always use digital fishing scales, hook them up to the back wheel and stand on a chair - sorted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
