Should I get some titanium bottle cage botlts to save weight?

[Sheffield_Tiger]

Will it make a noticeable difference to my performance? I found the bike seemed a bit heavy and unresponsive this morning, and hills were getting hard work!

Bookcase and a fornight's supply of tinned food for 3 cats - plus sack of dry cat food

The bookcase is fair enough but I'm sure three sacks and half a dozen bricks would have been lighter than all the cat food. With the added bonus of solving the cat problem on a permanent basis and freeing up some dosh for blingy Ti parts.

Ti bolts are old hat. Wot you need is a lick of anti-gravity paint.

You could try....

1) Inflate your tyres with helium - that'll sort it out.

2) Put harnesses on the cats and get them to pull you along. Make 'em work for their food.

Nice load!

Now, hitch the bike up to that other trailer we can see, and see how much you can carry!

If you can't find any, specify white paint because it is mostly titanium oxide.

Hold your stomach in whilst riding. It makes you lighter. Well it looks like it does when I do it in front of the mirror.

Ti bolts would help but I can see from the picture that the real problem is that you need carbon fiber bottle cages to reduce the weight.
Also, if you don't already have them, I would suggest ceramic bearings for the trailer wheels.

Replace the bookcase with a Kindle and make the cats work for their food by sending them out to hunt then you can scrap the trailer
You missed out the HUUUUUH !!! after Cars btw.

Spend some money on Armani's new Aquaporins EDT and use osmosis to take water out of the atmoshpere, negating the need for bottle cages totally.

Or use a clever calculation to place graphite milled Spoky Dokeys around your wheels, creating perpetual motion with your first kick of the peddles.
