Step 1: Make your bike 1 kg heavier. Step 2: Make your bike 1 kg lighter.

I stopped carrying a chain breaker because I hadnât needed it for 10 years. Broke my chain 2 weeks laterâŚ

As someone with a 6 kilo bike, here is my order of priority:
1: Carbon Frame and Fork (obviously)
2: Carbon Wheels (preferably with carbon spokes) Carbon spokes reduce the weight an additional 200g total.
3: Carbon Crankset. Carbon cranks save a lot, although savings depends on where you start. But I was able to save 500g with this alone. But if you already have an Ultegra/Dura Ace level crank, put this much lower on the list.
4: Carbon bars with integrated stem. The integrated stem saves a lot and is more aero.
5: Lightweight cassette. Must be Monoblock. A 12 speed 11-34t shouldn't weigh more than 250g, although you can get solid titanium or even aluminum units that are around 130-160g.
6: TPU tubes can be had in 19g weight. This should honestly be higher on the list.
7: The lightest tires that are applicable to your usage. Just remember that lighter doesn't mean faster, it just means lighter. I'd rather a heavier 28mm than a 23mm.
8: This should come with the frame, but just in case, an ultralight carbon seat stem can save a lot. Mine weighed 135g uncut.
9: Carbon saddle. You can actually find them as low as 54g, but this is somewhere where I'd rather more comfort at the cost of a bit of weight. My saddle is 131 grams, a nice compromise.
10: Bottle cages. I'll just say that my 2 bottle cages WITH mounting screws weigh a total of 16 grams.
From here it gets real chippy trying to save weight. You'll want to look at your brake/shifter cable housing, derailleurs, Pedals etc. Literally random bolts that can be replaced with aluminum or titanium.

I rode a bucket list tour of Italian mountains in the Summer including the Maratona dles Dolomites. Having already lost 5kg in the months training for my hols, I put my bike on a diet too. She lost over a Kg.
I used light tyres, TPU tubes, carbon saddle (second hand) and a ZTTO 11-34 cassette from Ali Express. Cost $73 NZD.
Fell in love with my bike all over again and ripped through the Italian Alps. â¤

Some Dura Ace cranks I had lying around??

I love that brown Selle Italia saddle. I bet you put it back right after the last shot of this video :-)

I chased weight savings on my bike, realized it made zero difference on my trending stats - maybe some bragging conversations with the club riders. I lost 20lbs this year(still overweight) and it has made the biggest difference. Unless youâre professional and racing where milliseconds count, itâs waste of money for most people.

Heres some advice
â˘Lay off the Cheeseburgers
â˘Eat your greens
â˘Cycling isnt the only exercise
â˘Dont be too obsessed with weight
â˘An empty wallet is always lighter and more aero
â˘A wife with 3 kids is heavy and not aero at all

As someone who's had to use those "weight saving" tire pumps and tools several times, I'll happily spend a couple hundred grams for the larger one, as well as a toolset that works.
Otherwise I'd just save the rest of the weight too and call for a pickup and save all the pain and strife of wasting time with bad tools.

That cassette costs almost as much as I paid for my entire cyclocross bike (which I still use) back in 2017. đ

I have that same multitool with chain-tool on it, and boy did it save my skin last year on my 6-day unsuported solo-trip through the alps. I really aimed for packing light on such a mountaineous trip, but i'm glad i didn't save weight (grams!) on that part.

The change from 105 to Ultegra is way more significant than going from Ultegra to DA or equivalent level. A lot of new bikes with 105 come with some non-105 generic shimano cranks that weigh a TON - swapping those out for Ultegra crankset (not TOO pricey compared to say the cassette shown) will save you 200+ grams

Removing rotating mass is doubly beneficial so tubes, tyres and cassette give you an added bonus. I had no idea TPU tubes were so light though, going to try some, thanks.

Without watching the video. Donât carry any water bottles. Boom 1kg

Free weight saving hack: loose weight :)

You hit the nail on the head at the end.. lose a pound of body weight working out (also increasing your strength at the same time a little) and be ahead.. and if you can afford the lightweight parts can do both. if you cant afford it go for the diet and exercise. Nice vid !! it's nice to see which areas give the best bang for the buck !

7,700 Calories to a KG of Fat. Convert that to the correct technical unit, the digestive biscuit. That is 110 DB. That is 9 less biscuits a month, for a year. At a cost of minus ÂŁ9.

if your bike came with basic box alu wheelset n generic butyl+tire, upgrading to tpu tube n better tire(gp5k, corsa next, pzero velo,..) really gonna transform your bike, even with that alu wheelset. you really will feel it đ

A lighter bike has advantages:
1) It does not gain weight over the winter, unlike the lighter rider.
2) You can let others lift your bike. I've never heard of anyone lifting a rider.
