I want to lighten up my bike by 1 kilo.

**Milliscoble **

In September 2008, followcost.com, a website which calculated how annoying it would be to follow anyone on Twitter, invented the milliscoble unit of measurement defined as: "1/1000 of the average daily Twitter status updates by Robert Scoble as of 10:09 CST September 25, 2008." At that time, Scoble was averaging 21.21 tweets per day, so a milliscoble is 0.02121 tweets per day. A person with a milliscoble rating of 1000 will be as annoying to follow as Scoble.[19]

Not to be confused with:

The Scoville scale is the measurement of the pungency (spicy heat) of chili peppers.
The number of Scoville heat units (SHU)[1] indicates the amount of capsaicin present. Capsaicin is a chemical compound that stimulates chemoreceptor nerve endings in the skin, especially the mucous membranes.
The scale is named after its creator, American pharmacist Wilbur Scoville. His method, devised in 1912, is known as the Scoville Organoleptic Test.[2] The modern commonplace method for quantitative analysis uses high-performance liquid chromatography, making it possible to directly measure capsaicinoid content.

Robert Scoble is a distant relative.

That figures.

First thing to do is to establish your budget, then have a look at what changes you can make whilst staying within that.
Listen to this man. He is our WW superguide

Wwdd

When establishing the budget notes are preferable. Ditch the coins.

Cycle nude.

Clothes weigh too much.

Get cleats directly attached to your feet, saving on the shoe weight.

Tubular rims and tyres should also help a bit

Anyway, the regulations state that your bike has to be 10% of your body weight or less, use this as a guide as to whether it is you, or your bicycle that needs to lose some tub.

Me: 65-70kg
Bike: probably >10kg

:(

There we go - works nicely, you need a bike that is 6.5-7 kg, or to gain 30kg of muscle.

Me 105kg bike 10.5kg...

Do you also run 105?

Good one ed, I lul'd....

also after 2 pages, stop listening. Close the thread in fact. All youre going to get is shit.

you managed to build a bike with the advice, encouragement, help and support from on here

Whatever you do, your lightweight bike will be ugly, unloved, and unridden.

Isn't that right CB?

... is a bike still a bike if it is never ridden?

I can't talk, my "nice" bike barely comes out ofthe house at the moment.
looks at sky
wonders aloud about changing weather patterns
wont someone think of the children

Shush your mouths all of you

Even Jimbilly's custom was made and build in less than half the time.

...esp you...

CB's bike's get lighter without him even doing anything.

In other news, my road bike is rocking DA STIs now...
