I've yet to do a TT. Question: Does your bike get weighed? If so, all the time?
As a small time TT organiser I find this question pretty odd. Generally, we're pleased that people have turned up to ride; the last thing we're going to do is quibble about their bike.
In the past road races did have machine examiners, and in this role I once had the embarassment of having to fail a friend's bike because I thought his tubs weren't stuck on well enough ( they certainly were not). On the other hand I passed a clubmate's bike which was blatantly dodgy on the grounds that he would be dropped in the first 200 yards (he was).
