Bike weights.....

[RegG]

Ok, I know this is going to open loads of cans of worms but, having just bought a digital luggage scale for our hols, I thought I would try it out on my bike, just out of interest.......

My 2015 Giant Defy 0 (now with Ultegra crankset, cassette and brakes, plus Vittoria Session wheels/Rubino tyres, Selle Italia G2 saddle, and Topeak aero wedge bag) weighed in at 9.6kg.

Who else has weighed their bike and what was the result?

Ive been thinking about doing this but i have no idea where my digital scales are.

Would love to weigh my 2008 Defy 2, I've tried to lighten it up with a few upgrades but I reckon its heavy still.

My road bike, a steel frame 631 is 10.5kg
My mountain bike, alu, a Kinesis FF29 is 11kg
My Marin bear valley chromo is 14kg

Weighed my Rose recently; I've got the 2015 version of https://www.rosebikes.co.uk/bike/rose-xeon-team-cgf-3000-818234/aid:818294 - Ultegra 6800, Compact, 11-28, Ritchey WCS Seatpost, Handlebars and Stem, Con GP4000SII 25mm tyres but I've replaced the saddle with a Specialized Romin Evo Expert Gel, added M540 (SPD) pedals, two bottle cages and a topeak aero medium wedge containing a Topeak Hexus 2, two spare inner tubes, park tools glueless patches and a quick link.

All together, this comes to 7.9Kg

My Defy 1 carbon seems heavy compared to these weights @ 79 Kg.
Am I supposed to be sitting on it ??

Enjoyment from riding it, priceless?

CdF 15kg
Titanium superbike 9kg

Measured on a spring balance with no great precision and no means of calibration other than the knowledge that I wasn't charged for excess baggage last time I took a flight.

Road bike - with lights, mudguards, saddlebag, etc 12.5kg (9.9kg without all that lot)

Hybrid - with lights, mudguards, saddlebag, etc 16.5kg (13.5kg without)

The real problem is the 95kg of lardass I then balance on top...

Quick calculation on the back of a fag packet using mainly claimed weights:

• Frame 1375g
• Fork 350g
• Wheels 1757g
• Tyres & tubes 600g
• Skewers (estimate) 150g
• Groupset 2096g
• Pedals 266g
• Saddle 230g
• Seatpost 135g
• Seatclamp 28g
• Headset 108g
• Stem 225g
• Bars (estimate) 200g
• Bar tape negligible
• Bottle cage negligible
• Stack spacers negligible

Gives a total of 7.5kg. Add 10% for inaccuracies / wishful thinking in manufacturers claimed weight, so call it 8ish kg. Precision of spring balance and my weighing technique +/- at least half a kilo so that could be about right.

• Rider 65kg
