Seems a massive amount of weight MY zona zenith(2.2kg frame) was at it's heaviest only 11.2kg, and that was with a rear echo 07 rim, echo cnc cranks, gigapipe bb and 203 BB7

Try weighing again?

[Ollied]

Just did mine at got 8747g
I shall weigh my bike later, but at a guess
Innertubes + Air = a bit.
some of the products weren't weighed efficently.

[nyoli]

it happened the same with the hydroxx 2. there's an article at tribalzine

Do you have localized this article?

Can you post it here?

This could be truth because the only thing that is different between yaabaa 1499 and Hidroxx 2 is the frame.

Are you sure cos you weighed it in the worse way possible.
weigh it properly just to check.

and more so can you even feel that its ways 11kg?
or are u just being picky?

[totaltrials]

Weigh it properly, using more accurate scales ?¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?

If it is indeed the correct weight of your bike then this is evidence to support the idea that "20g here 30g there" bike diet is correct.

A good example of variation between different individual items of the same product is tyres.

I have a try all sticky mod rear tyre that should weigh about 1050g or thereabouts new.
Now mines as bald as a coot and therefore should weigh a good bit less.
Well it doesn't.
I weighed it when I changed it yesterday and it weighed 1200g who knows what it weighed new probably 1500g.

So if you have extreme of discrepancy in the claimed weight and actual weight in two tyres then you are looking a 1kg just from the tyres.

Add that to 10g here and there over the whole bike and it'll soon add up I suppose.

Air = a bit.

No way that weighs 11,3kgs. Thats roughly how much a Deng bike on Urban parts would weigh.

Seriously, 11,3 is insanely heavy for a trials bike.

[Ben John-Hynes]

If you only think it's heavy after seeing the weight, you're a fanny.

Lmao, best topic of 2009.

Its shocking, when i weighed myself at home on some £20 scales from argos.....i was 74kg, then i went to the gym and used some accurate scales and it told me i was 78kg! dont worry...after getting all angry and flustered, i complained to the gym..came straight back home, found an internet forum and asked everyone what happened

*edit - phew...i just weight myself properly on scales i knew were exactly accurate, and it turns out..i was around 78kg - i then realised, that i shouldnt get so worked up on a number some scales give me if im happy with things anyway

I can't understand why people start to joking with this topic, I just was concerned after weigh my bike in not apropiated weigher and just want an opinion if this weigh can be possible. For sure the option that i used to weigh my bike is not apropiated but i don't have other and is not for that people start to joke with this.

Anyway, thanks for apropiated comments and for all others you can continue joking if that makes you happy. For sure, you are extremelly clever and never ask inapropiated questions in forums.

At least now I know what i have to do:

1- Weigh again in apropiated scale.

2- Don't start a topic in this forum unless it was extremelly clever, if not some people may feel offended.......

EDIT: maybe the expresion "i'm angry" in the first topic is not correct maybe is better "I'm confused" or "I'm concerned" if is it the starter of jokes, but excuse me, english is not my mother language like you can see.

EDIT 2: i have modified the first topic.

EDIT 3: I'm very happy with my bike, i like it to much, I just was confused with the first measurement.

since its christmas, i'll try to take this seriously and be of some sort of help this time....

how is the weight increase possible? im not sure..you have the bike, and it would be alot easier to do a little homework first

tarty bikes seems to have the weight of almost all of thier products on thier website...if they dont have one you need, im sure they would have something similar, and this could give you a good idea of the weights certain components should be

alot of people have kitchen scales that go up to about 5kg..hopefully you or a friend will have a set?

with the scales and that info, you can work out what your wheels should weigh..and check each one with relative accuracy, then check other parts and probably work most of this conundrum out yourself

[PaRtZ]

please..just...
go for a bike ride.

who gives a shit if your bike is 3 kg heavier. If it bothers you that much (this goes for anyone btw) go 'pump some iron' seriously
what happened to when it was about riding the bike, not weighing it?!

[Ali C]

my bikes 11.5kg
