    YES DAVE! Glad to see more people normalising bike weight. Sub 10KG = light af. Geometry and stiffness are more important for performance than weight. But also fook performance. Get the bike that inspires you to ride. ✌🏼

    I've just brought a Fairlight Strael steel road bike and quite honestly, I couldn't care less that it weighs more than my carbon road bike. Unless you're hill climbing or you live amongst mountains, sod the weight - just ride the bike!

    I went to see Bernard Hinault speak in Dallas back around 1990, there were a whopping 12 or so people there. By way of his French interpreter he said he didn't know what the angles of his bike frames were and that his favorite tires were those with air in them.
    I think he was trying to convey to us that those things really don't matter that much. He had an early LOOK carbon frame bike on stage with him,
    Likewise, I bet most raceway drivers don't hang around the pits all night looking at and wondering about valve springs.
    However... I do think the weight of our bellies and butts do matter.

    thanks Dave, an interesting chat and a bit informative as usual. My bike was Ribble cgr e-bike at around 14kg (and i often tried to stay power off mode). I decided to make it acoustic and stripped the motor and battery out (new back wheel required). It's now 10.7kg and feels very much more nimble.

      @@DaveNoakes yes, 14kg is light for 'e'. The rear hub motors are quite heavy and you certainly feel the heft of the wheel when using it unpowered.

    Look at all those bikes! Living the dream.
    The only time I notice a weight difference is when I'm carrying my bikes upstairs. My track bike is around 9kg, which I think is pretty good for aluminum frame and aluminum wheels.

    My stormchaser is 12kg with 700x50 and a 50T mullet build. Still did 112 mile race on it. My bikepacking/commuting Surly is 20.6 kg with racks/bags and 27.5x3" tires. Still ride it almost every day. I'd like to try something super light but I'm not sacrificing comfort to do it. Weight would matter if someone were paying me money to win races. But since that's not the case, I don't really care. Besides, the heavier the bike is, the less impact that extra sausage roll makes.

    Still use 531 rim brake bikes so not really that fussed about weight. Comfort is more important and ease of maintenance . How about getting a Folding bike and do a review on one. Just been looking into them, quite an interesting concept if you dig into the options.

    If I was around 80kg I’d be a weight weenie, but at my weight I need something solid under me, so I’m not too bothered, though my road bike is under 10kilo, gravel over 10kilo. I’m more in to comfort😁😊👍

    • @DaveNoakes
      @DaveNoakes  Рік тому

      I think this is a common thought. I used to be around 70kg and was very focused on bike and my own weight. Since stepping away from racing I’m now 80kg and really don’t care about bike weight.

  • @tmayberry7559

    Does the weight matter. Yes . For me since I have to chuck it up stairs, on and off buses it matters a little. Furthermore it adds to the comfort when it's a daily driver. Thirdly the lighter weight matters when climbing hills.
    I lost count on how many you have. The best answer is You have more than One 😂😂😊😁
