[weeeeee]

Then you have a large breakfast and add 1lb

What bottle cage weighs over250 grams? Most plastic cages are about 40 grams with carbon ones going down to 15grams

[ATWL]

Omg 500gr makes no difference whatsoever unless your at the very top of the game, big companies and channels sponsored by big companies want you to believe!!!

[computerbob]

Why not just take the front wheel, brakes and cable off and wheelie/manual everywhere!?

[lyssa]

Hilarious, makes no difference to anyone but pros

[StrongerThanBigfoot]

Just lift weights and get stronger. Ppl are way to obsessed about having the lightest bike possible lol

[Sams_mith]

Haha isn’t that like a squirt from your water bottle. Marketing is amazing 😂

[nyashnader]

Imagine if you took the advice from this comment section and got in shape to lose weight, and also shaved all the weight off your bike as possible for maximum efficiency 🤔😧

[LuisManuelHdez]

I love shaving weight off my bikes as long as I remain light as well. Well I'm 6'2" so light'ish. Never been lighter than 195 . I look too skinny.😂

[cocacolatgv]

Get rid of the rider and you save 80 kilos!!!

[jameslopez]

I have a strict diet! Lost 9lbs Body Fat that I didn't need! One year later feel Healthy And Fast? 🤔 Just An Idea for Dropping Weight! 👍✌️😎

[dragongg]

I just drill holes in my frame, but ok.

[trailfork]

No tools, no spare tubes just to save a few grams? Blasphemy

[bikesvlog]

Sorry i will stick to plastic carbon is to expensive to crash

[liamleech]

What a scam lol for cars weight savings make sense, for mountain biking. It barely makes a difference and a heavier bike is somewhat better for keeping you planted and less chance of toe out or tires sliding out from under you. Not that you want a heavy bike, but telling people who don’t know any better to buy an expensive carbon cup holder cause it’s gonna “help their performance”. Just wear a back pack

200 gms bull, get a new scale, yours is broken

Conditioning is a major part of the training needed to compete in any sport, but for some, they utilize tech & hacks instead of working harder.

I started riding in Denver, CO 2017 (Road/entry-level MTB trails) and I was no good at it all.

Now, and after catching Covid 2x, I can ride 25+ miles per day with a loaded MTB backpack in CT.

I've never riden my bicycle long distance without extra weight on my back, E-V-E-R.

Work harder, go farther...
