Just shaved .6 pounds any ways to shave more without spending money?
 

I just got a carbon fiber handlebar XTR shifters, and that took off .6 lbs or 275 grams. Anyone know tricks to save more weight that wont cost another $200? I already don't have bottle holders, and have a very light saddlebag.

Wheel and tire?

Speed holes!!!

Lose 10 lbs of body fat.

seat and seat post?

What kind of grips are you using? I use Titec pork rinds and they only weigh 12 grams. You can lose up to anywhere from a couple of ounces to a quarter pound by just changing grips.

Believe it or not there are a lot of people in this sport that don't have ten pounds of body fat to lose. ;)

Lose the topcap.

Thanks thats a pretty good idea. I've got the Kona Jack**** that came on the bike. I'll change those tomorrow.

Take a dump.

High colonic?

I could lose a lot more than 10.........:(

Let the air out of your tires... that'll save you at least .001g

Tyres are the go. You can save nearly 1kg just by spending a little bit more for some kickarse tyres

Take a paper punch to the sidewalls - - there's a lot o' rubber there just spinnin' around doing nothing. Fill the tubes with helium, take the cover and padding off the saddle, swiss-cheese the outer 1 1/2" of your handlebars and use electrician's friction tape instead of grips. :D

get a haircut

hey, any tips on reducing weight? Wheels is the best rite? Besides saving weight from wheels is???? My bike comes with Alex DP20 (from the pic that I saw) So any other way in saving grams without spending money on expensive mavic?

you need a new bike

Psh who uses a seat?

Search your past posts, I'm sure you will find an answer. ;)

Oh btw, there are a lot of quality wheels out there that make Mavic's seem heavy (and overpriced).

thats 10-12 lbs there.

cut off your downtube and replace it with a cable.

Damn, those are some really funny replies...still laughing about the high colonic.

American Classic, Velocity, Sun, DT Swiss, Shimano.
