[Closed] Single Speed - What does yours weigh?

Not sure of exact weight, but not much. Could do weight lighter forks/cranks/handlebars.

That chainring probably weighs at least a couple of kilos though.

Bet my Fuel weighs less than that 🙂

24lbs dead, so not really very light. Appropriate to my weight and riding style though.

Ti456, reba SL 120s with maxle. Stans flow/pro2's.

normal bars and less spacers, but otherwise the same as this:

Mine is a 2010 Genesis iO, replaced the stock rigid forks wih a set of Tora 302's initially - but they were shite & heavy and lacked a bar mounted lockout- so I put my Reba Races on there.

Other than that the bike is stock and runs Ignitor exception or Bonty Mud X's both lighter than the OE Wire Bead 2.2" Mountain Kings.

OE weight is 24.6lbs, with the Toras it was up to 27lbs, with the Rebas it's 25.5lbs

Can't get on flickr for some reason so no pics sorry

18.5lbs of carbon lovelyness .. for the hard of sight amongst you its 26 inch wheels with 1.8 mud tires on and rockshox sid teams with world cup internals

Goes fast too - won 2 short course events in that guise over winter and 4th in solo at strathpuffer 24

Bet my Fuel weighs less than that

Its probably ~22lbs.

his fuel weighs less then 😉

Bet mines faster though 😀

probably - according to someone on here nicks to busy taking photos of it to impress us before selling it to be any good on his bike....

it has gears anyway so isnt counted !

Bet mines faster though

I suspect it is around a skate park! As Terry says though, I never actually ride it, just take photos of it, then sell it!

27 pounds for on one 26er, 18 inch frame, exotic carbon forks. Im let down by my wheelset i think. They are standard deore hubs front and rear, non butted spokes, xm317 front rim and a mach1 rear rim. Also standard deore crankset so not the lightest there.

Goes up to 30 poudns with fox 130mm's and a nobby nic up front...mmmmhmmm.

Skate park? With that chainring?

That looks fun! I'd have a go on the Fuel.

Ti 29er rigid SS - 20 lbs.

Mine's so light it keeps floating off and getting stuck in low hanging branches. 🙄

No idea how much it weighs and don't care either. 8)

I want a go on trail rat's bike 8)

Cheers for the figures & pics

Loving the Jones too - floaty light 😆

18 year old Kona Cindercone, P2 forks, Velocity quill stem, DX vees, cheap wheels I got from Retrobike with Bonty rims, Parallax hubs and Bony Mud X rear (Becasue it fits, not a lot of room there!) and Jones ACX front tyres, LX HT2 cranks, 540 SPDs, cheap seatpost, Charge Spoon, and some VERY cheap bars off my Carerra commuter

- 23.5 lbs all up, which isn't to shabby.

I guess I could fairly easily drop 1lb off that, but that's defeating the point of a budget (£157) bike, and it feels so light and nimble anyway I can't see the point! 🙂

Where's that realman? I can't jump for toffee but a few goes round there might improve my crashing technique a bit.

loads but then so do i so it dont matter 😉

29er with a u turn frankenfork 9.9kg so about 22lb ish is old money. I still go up hills at the pace of an asthmatic snail with heavy shopping though, so it's not a performance benefit it any way

Mine's so light it keeps floating off and getting stuck in low hanging branches.

Donk, that track is in gosport near portsmouth/southampton.

Ive tried it on a mountain bike and its just not that rideable, i guess if you were very good at jumping or just wanted to pump it would be okay. Looks much more fun on a bmx 😀 which i dont havE 🙁

9.7kg 29er rigid SS on bike shop scales

I have just converted my Orange Clockwork (2007 reisue) to a SS. Not go a pic of it yet, but it is never going to be lite. she was 28lb as a geared, she is now 26lb as a SS without peddles.

Scandal 29er 23lb on the nose

It is very rideable on a 26", you just have to drop the saddle as much as possible. But yeah, it is faster and more fun on a bmx. And yes, its in Rowner, Gosport. And its just had an upgrade so its now a national standard track, which means its even longer.

18" Voodoo Wanga, 26" with White Industry freewheel and Surly/DT Swiss wheels, Pace RC31 forks - 23lbs. LX square taper crank and BB. Also USE suspension seatpost. Don't think I could get it much lighter. Think most of the weight is in the frame. But as I weigh 103kg does it really matter?

Inbred 69er

Never weighed it, never will.

One of my constant bugbears on here is quoted weights, the below, a 3.5Lb frame running a much better spec than pictured never got under 20Lbs on my scales

[img] http://images.fotopic.net/?iid=yds305&outx=600&quality=70 [/img]

Maybe I'll try the wifes scales next time, I think it's possible those might under weigh 😉

My only bike at the moment!
Really good fun, not sure on weight but not really interested!
On-One carbon fork, DT Swiss XR1 wheelset (X1800), FSA K-Force Bars

Have a Cotic Simple that weighs just under 22lb.

I know it's very light when putting in and out the car!
It flies around Thetford forest and imho probably the best type of bike for Thetford.

@ Hornet600

Thought I had seen that bike before 🙂

Another Thetford/Brandon rider

too busy riding to get the scales out but I would estimate early 20's few less spacers might help 😳

[img] [/img]

no idea of weight, less than when it had 27 gears on it though

@ letmetalktomark

I raced it twice this year during the winter series, Thetford and Tunstall.
Considering using it for D2D, but running solo again this year, so not sure!
What do you ride? You a regular evening or weekend rider?

Weekends usually. Not that organized to get there weekday evenings 😳 only just live down the road in BSE too!

I'll be out this weekend (probably Sunday) so will keep an eye out 🙂

Very Heavy.
15 year old Claud Butler frame.
Forks off a found, stolen,(presumed) partly stripped bike in the park.
Front wheel swapped for a pint.
Back wheel lord knows!
Chain from a flour mill conveyor belt(thanks Nigel)
Other bits from the junk bin kept in the parents garage.
Mudguards are pretty shiny though.

Does the job very well of a city hack about and is a good 'larf to ride about bike.
Not worth taking a picture of.

I live 5 miles just out Bury, do you race for Flow racing?

I had a trek 9.9 team that I sold to a guy in sweden.
Carbon forks, extralite hubs, ZTr rims, carbon post and saddle, carbon stem and bars, extralite cranks, candy 4ti's, tubeless maxxis maxlites
magura marta's 160mm floating rotors.

When it was weigh for postage it came in at 8.5kgs and that included all teh packaging which I reckon was a good kilo. So the bike probably weighed about 7.5kgs.

i built up a Rigid Carver with lots of expensive stuff on it and had it at a tad over 16lbs, was still just over 17lbs with sensible tires on.
