6. Replace your wheels with the lightest wheelset you can find, even if they don't support your weight
7. Subtotal
8. Subtract the weight of your tubes and tires because everyone knows they are filled with air and thus don't really matter
8. Weigh on bathroom scale and round *down* to the nearest competitor's claim
