Your Bike and Jenny Craig

[Lumberjack]

What is the weight of your bike?

I just put another Hei Hei 29 fs together and hit the scale before it went out the door. Right at the 30# mark like N8 said. Took mine to the scale next and with fender, splash guard, Rock ring,Shimano M424 clips, chain stay wrapped and computer 31#8oz. This weekend I start swapping out the parts I have been acquiring.

My Kula 29 ht set up as above with the rest stock chimed in at 28#12oz

Both bike are 18" frames

ugh, 29ers are heavy(er) there's no way around that.

my inbred SS with full race build (mega-light wheels) is around 26# with a Reba fork.

my RIP9 isn't built yet, but after weighing most of the separate parts and frame, it should come in around 32# with a durable build.

tires/wheels are really the issue, i'd probably lose 2 full pounds off the race bike if i was willing to run real race tires (Crow, karma etc.) but i prefer traction....

[BikeGeek]

I'll never understand the fascination with bike weight. I guess it would be different if I raced. As long as I'm riding more than I'm walking I'm happy.

[Lumberjack]

Wheels are the first to go. Ringle'/Mavic TN719 build w/15g spokes and alloy nipples. Saddle/post now. Cassette and tubeless tires later.

BikeGeek I never cared too much about weight considering its cheaper for me to lose it than the bike. I'm doing a 24hr later and don't want the weight penalty

Is that the HT? God, I guess I should get mine on a scale.

We'll have to put yours on the scale. I don't have one that small here. My ht has those big platform pedals on it also. By next week it should have the candy sl's like yours

Agreed. I refuse to weigh my current ride. I don't want to know.

I'm reluctant to weigh mine, but it's gotta be over 30#. It's a HT SS Retrotec w/ twin top tubes and an extra "beauty" or "tank" tube. Added to that initial weight penalty, I'm running BB7s, a FSA V-drive Extreme cranks and a bash guard. But really, I think I'd be just as slow if it was 25#, and I'd rather have the peace of mind that comes with stout parts. I had Curtis us a +1 philosophy when choosing the tubeset for the frame, telling him I was not an elegant rider and valued durability over compliance.

Don't get me wrong on the weight issue.I won't give one inch on durability! I could shed more weight than the bike. I'm just curious as to what other bikes weight in at. A few of us ( snacks included ) are doing a 24hr and don't want the extra weight but these are our daily riders also.

I worked really hard to get the weight down on the wheels and not make them race only. The post I'm changing is only marginally lighter than stock but I wanted the cockpit to be the same as my Kula 29 so there wouldn't be any difference.

my sultan is around 29.5 pounds... I didn't build it to be light just very durable.

The HiFi Deluxe, stock and ready to ride weighed just a shade over 28lbs. The OS Bikes Blackbuck came in right at 25lbs as you see it.

I'm testing a Diamondback Overdrive Pro that weighs just north of 32lbs! That said, it really is a fun bike to ride, for the price you pay for it. (About a grand)

I usually err on the side of durability. I went through the lightweight parts binge in the mid 90's and paid dearly! ($$$$)

[croscoe]

My bike was 28 lbs stock... with the new wheels/tires, it'll probably be 32ish... I don't really care though.

[Lumberjack]

greenchris and Guitar Ted your rides rock!

Thanks for the input

my 17" sj ht full gears hits at 26.4 lbs

[Lumberjack]

The old girl has shed almost two pounds and still has all the winter gear for mud on it. Biggest investmest was the wheels. Tubeless next week. I think N8 and his buddy were right on target.


:spam:Sligtly used wheelset cheap. PM me

[aktallguy]

34lbs for my 25" Ventana.

[Lumberjack]

Watching you weight that Sat I would have bet it was going to weigh a couple more pounds. 34# is impressive for that build.
