Krisboats Posted July 15, 2010 Report Share Posted July 15, 2010 Just... No. It is not a valid answer. A valid answer would have been "x(.y)kg". Sure I'm pedantic, (especially with semantics - isn't one of the humanistic traits our communicative skills? Let's try to prevent regression shall we...) but still, the question was "how heavy". Okay, someone asks you in real life, in a real conversation and you reply with "i have no idea". That's valid, not useful, but valid. According to your logic you'd either have to tell them a weight or remain ignorantly quiet without answering at all. Are you saying you've never answered a question with "i don't know", "i'm not sure" etc? I have no idea how heavy so that is my answer, then i moved onto my question. It's a forum, not tax return, i didn't vote so there's no problem except the one you're making. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manuel Posted July 15, 2010 Report Share Posted July 15, 2010 A valid answer would have been "x(.y)kg". unfortunately not. weight depends on where you are and should strictly speaking be kgf - kilogram force... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psycholist Posted July 15, 2010 Report Share Posted July 15, 2010 The kgf unit was made up by Americans who didn't understand that the units in the SI unit system defined mass and force as separate entities right from day one. The pound was originally a measure of force before it was understood that a mass in gravity exerted a force which could be measured and mass was invariant with gravity. I'd avoid using the kgf unit at all costs - Newtons are the correct units of force. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aener Posted July 15, 2010 Report Share Posted July 15, 2010 (edited) ... Fine... "It weighed ~x(.y)kg when I put it on my scales in my bathroom", or "x(.y)N". Edited July 15, 2010 by aener Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robin M S/c Posted July 15, 2010 Report Share Posted July 15, 2010 Adams comp Monty 207 Kamel is 7.1kg His practice version is just over 8kg. As he only weighs about 4 stone the lighter the bike the better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Scarlet Posted July 16, 2010 Report Share Posted July 16, 2010 9.3kg for my limey 320. Would like to get that sub 9kg, and then I can leave it there. Nothing on my bike is so light that it voids any possible strength, I don't buy trials parts often so choosing ultra lightweight parts would be a dick move to replace.

I'm sorry to say it but you come across as a fool and should probably spend less time on here causing hassle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
