  • After The Struggle Hill Climb in 2022, I set myself the task of seeing how light I could get a disc brake road bike for the National Hill Climb this year. In this video you can see a bunch of the components that went into building up the bike to make it even lighter!

    Afternoon Chris, thats one helluva weight saving. Creative thinking goes some way to removing weight on a bike 👍. Chapeau to you for that 👏. Have a great weekend !

    Loved the attention to detail, it's lighter because it doesn't have the black paint. 👌

    Love the build dude 👌 light weight builds are the best, but my they get expensive very fast , build up a serotta ottrott into a hillclimb machine but 2by so I can use it for everything , definitely been a fun project finding all the lightweight parts, look forward tonthe next episode

      @ChrisHallRides searching for all the part was definitely then fun bit for me , my frame and fork isn't the lightest being half ti , wheel aren't super light either but I love the look of them , so went on a super light components mission , ee brakes , sram red 22 , darimo bars stem and seatpost , light weight cables chain and chainrings , c59 saddle , carbon works bottle cage lighter tyres with tpu tubes , with all that its still 6.4kg 🤣🤦‍♂️ could probably drop a kg buy changing the frame and wheels but I like them to much , but definitely a fun thing to do , alot of time spend online researching stuff , very enjoyable and a learning curve for sure

      It's a Shimano one but a mish mash of different ones to tweak the gear ratios

    This is cheating if using a mtb crankset with a child chainring. 😜
