Cannondale SuperSubFive (kg) Hill Climb Machine

I'll probably only shift once or twice in a race so should be ok

Ditch 7 or 8 of the sprockets then?

100g - file down the pedals, and the RD, there was some guy on Weight Weenies that reduced a DA RD to about 2/5 of the weight with a file and some other bits. Head set cap can go.

It's making me wonder where I can drop the weight on mine now

The rear mech can be tuned, you're right. Kits from Germany on eBay. Of course there's no top cap!

They're all stuck together. It's pretty cool actually, like a tube that goes over the free hub body, hollow up to the teeth, only the 11t is removable.

Slot & polish brake levers, an easy 3g right there.

Plot twist: OP weighs 93kg.

But seriously, surely you can loose 100g off yourself more easily?

^ there it is! #justhaveapoo

I've always hated that you still have to pay a £1 card processing fee for every additional CTT event you enter. Surely the card payment is only processing the once and CTT allocate the funds to the individual event organisers?

Had to come at some point.

The aim of the game is to lose 100g off me and 100g off the bike.

I can't really be fucked with dieting though. I eat well and I'm not really drinking until November.

Amen. It's annoying.

You're one of those awful 'naturally skinny' people.

Are you riding Walbury? I might ride over and watch.

Yeah, after your recommendation. You should ride it!

Ideas on how to lose 100g for no money are welcome

ride naked?

shave your head
speedos or summat
water fast/no salt?

the bike is a tough one for free, glue/epoxy/wizardry instead of bolts?
nitrogen in the tubes?
mad dremel attacks??

PBed on Swains and Highgate West so that's good. Might well swap out the bars for chopped down ones - as predicted it's pretty hard to change gear while at full pelt but I reckon it's an ok trade off.

Swapped the bars out for something a little less comfortable. Amusingly the holes for internal cabling now make a nice low flute-like note above 25kph.

You're using cable end frays I see, weighty weighty

Superglue that sucker

Or just nothing.

Also valid.

Do a pie, eat less poo ... etc etc

Do you need both bolts holding that stem?

Drill levers

Are you going to make a fixie out of it to see how low you can go with weight?

I'd venture a guess and say you could probably dremel out quite a bit of material from the hinges on the brake levers.

I thought about it. I don't have a light fixed wheel though. Might have to come and noise up the Death TT if I can find one.

Turns out Conti Supersonic tubes are bullshit and haven't even lasted to the first race.
