• being a (admittedly not comitted) weight weenie I often wonder about this. Thinking particularly about cx as anyone ever looked at the effect weight has on differences in effort needed to accelerate from a slow corner back up to speed? Everything around weight vs aero seems to be about steady speed. I wonder how that changes when you have a lot of micro accelerations.

    (probably not that much but I just built a light weight cx bike so looking for excuses...)

  • To my mind, with less weight on your bike you will accelerate faster from the same effort (assuming all other factors are equal) Just think, how fast can I lift up a 5kg weight vs how fast can I lift a 10kg weight?
