Weight Weenies

I'm one of them

To be fair I like climbing so....

New bike ordered 2017 Orbea Orca with sram etap.

Then will transfer my 3T carbon components over.

Zipp 303 tubs.

Estimated weight will be around 6kgs all in.

Confess who else weighs everything they buy?

How much do you weigh is the big question.

Aero > weight

To some extent I make a conscious effort to save weight where I can but ultimately becoming more powerful or lighter yourself is much cheaper and in most cases easier

Found a saddle at the NEC this weekend you'll probably want

63g £384. Mine weighs 170g and was £310 cheaper, rather have poo and go on holiday with the savings

I weigh 67 kgs so not heavy could drop a little though.

This year I have become a semi- weight weenie for the first time, putting new/old fatbike bits on the scales. My latest upgrade was replacing the default Wellgo pedals (which had a horrid lump above the axle on the crank side) with a pair of Wellgo C162 pedals, ~450g down to 225g for the pair!
