hanging-on in quiet desperation ...
- Location
- Kirton, Devon.
I've just reduced the weight of my Aluminium TCR1 Ultegra (2004) by 3.4 lbs, she now weighs in at 20.8 lbs or 9.43 Kgs replete with Brooks B17, mini-pump, Look 246 pedals (pure lead) 2 bottle cages a Space-grip with computer plus Cateye rear light...
Considering a Focus Cayo Carbon with 105 weighs-in at 8.83 Kgs without pedals, then the old TCR still stacks up pretty well.
How?
Well...
Swap winter wheels (Ultegra hubs, CXP22s, Krylions) for summer wheels (Reynolds Alta-Race, PrR3's)
Remove, 3 front lights, 1 rear light.
Remove Carradice SQR block.
Voila!
Could feel the difference at club training tonight
