Bike & Frame Weight

The conversion was right so On-One might've been using the highly accurate measuring device known as: bathroom scales?
I'll add yours in.

Just thought I'd add in my frame weight for comparison, didn't weigh it just taking the info that the dealer had up on ebay

Manufacturers are basically a bunch of liars when it comes to product weight, it really is no better than that, they will knowingly deceive you if it makes their product more salable.

I bought a DT Swiss mon chasserel front wheel last week, this thing is sold on its weight - 640g is proudly claimed on the website - I got the thing home, climbed into my weight weenie gear (white coat + gloves + hair net) and stuck the wheel on my gram accurate digital scale - 722g was the real weight - lying bastards.

During my career as a weight weenie I have found Easton/Shimano/Campag/USE and Mavic are incredibly accurate with their claimed weights, rarely more than 1 or 2 grams out - just about everyone else will claim much lighter weights than they can actually deliver.

Again, bastards.

I would expect there to be up to 5 % diff in weight but 722 over 640 that is 12.8% difference which is a bit crazy.

Exactly !!!

Lying bastardos.

I realise manufacturers are lying bastards. Hell, I don't even care about weight, it's the lowest concern on my spec. sheet.
Just thought it would be interesting to compile a list coz people were asking/comparing.
Here's the biggest collection of claimed and measured weights I've found:

http://weightweenies.starbike.com/listings/components.php?type=roadframes
http://weightweenies.starbike.com/listings/components.php?type=roadwheels

There's like +17% difference in some of those wheelsets!!

Cinelli RAM bar/stem under-claimed by 42%!! :D

Electrical companies do the same thing with battery life claims.

lpg Electrical companies do the same thing with battery life claims.

I saw a test on TV about this. Energizer lasted longest but Morrisons were best life-for-money.
