How to Be a Weight Weenie

[@DylanJohnsonCycling]

Any crucial weight weenie tips that I missed?

[@statosphereonline2008]

Remove the cock and balls to save between 30-500 g. I did it and dont regret anything!

[@DaftDroneYT]

Wearing warm or winter clothes is forbidden. Always wear shorts, and jersey without sleeves even on winter

[@poochie8208]

A customer came in one day asking to not over do it with the tubeless sealant, and to use only 30ml per tire as that was enough to seal the tires.

I have recently taken up "running" because my mountain bike is about 14kg too heavy. still wear cycling kit though, I wouldn't want to be mistaken for a runner...

[@kati2426]

and cleats, you stayed with cleats, right?

[@aledge6317]

@@kati2426 yes, of course (I also wear shoe covers when I run to be more aero).

Did he use a torque wrench?

Drill Holes !

I don't understand what's "funny" about this video. BHD brings up some great points.

[@recuperacion420]

Gringos are like dat. Gringos humor. Lol

[@umaxi96]

You are a weight weenie obviously 😜

[@poochie8208]

LOL. This video totally made my day, hilarious. Reminds me of this one customer at a bikeshop I used to work at that would weigh everything he bought. THis one time he actually weighted every single jersey we had to select the lightest one, and I don't mean different jerseys, he weighed every single size M jersey of the same model he wanted. After that, we started hiding the scale everytime he walked in. Interestingly enough, the guy never won a race, go figure.

[@lfsass]

So it turns out even the lighter wallet didn't help

[@respek2933]

Oh my God 😂 Disk brakes and durian Rider, that was so funny 😂😂. 3:00

[@Bigkidbird4]

She got totally turned off when you said titanium bolts.. bad move BHD, we all know aluminum bolts are lighter, hydro dipped to look like carbon of course.

[@IraklyShanidze00X]

Man, girls like bright colors. Now you can get aluminum bolts even in hot pink. Although one must keep in mind that the coating carries some weight penalty.

[@red00tl]

Totally made my day. I never liked the other guy who was calmly dispensing truth and wisdom. BHD RUELZ!!!

[@anracingrsr1]

Backwards hat Dylan is stepping up his game immensely. Impressive.

[@cameronking1872]

Damn, Backwards hat Dylan. She left her oven on. You could’ve put bread in her oven but she didn’t want your weight weenie! 😉🤣😂 No, Seriously... This was a good video! I find myself complaining about my 18lb bike when I, Myself, Am 30lbs overweight. 🤦🏻‍♂️ I LOVE climbing and sometimes I really do wish I just had an all around lighter bike but I know the one thing that will help me get up hills faster than any bike I could buy is just simply losing all this excess weight and body fat. I’ve been losing weight consistently and training correctly with all your advice! So for that, I am forever grateful to you.

[@carlofino4666]

Loved the Durian rider diss

[@brianmessemer2973]

Dylan, thanks for the 5 minutes of sustained chuckling. It's much needed in these times!

[@Scissors3259]

FINALLY!!! We get a whole video of Backwards hat Dylan giving us some pearls of wisdom

[@aaroiseverything]

So this is what happens when BHD takes over the channel

[@wdadwawdadawdwdwa4133]

you got it backwards, he runs the channel dylan is just a nerdy sidekick

[@gnuftter7115]

Love your irony!😅 the hip replacement part is so funny. Step 7 is so on point! See many on ultra light bikes, with their belly almost resting in the toptube when they try to be aero😂 I think the metric scale is: 1g of bike weight = 250g of rider weight.

[@Andrew-oq7dx]

Bro this is just to true I consider myself a weight Winnie and had a good laugh at this

You got a problem with roadies man!?

By the time you said 'interactive spreadsheet' I was in tears.

It's the straight face that slays me. Great lockdown entertainment!

[@ElonMuckX]

Just found your channel. This guy's a GENIUS!!!

[@OrdinaryRodzTCG]

Running discs and not a carbon fiber canti brake with only one filed down pad installed... Thought this was a weight weenie video. 😂

[@brauljo]

Real weight weenies ride fixed

[@rascal1234]

Great stuff! I feel this is the real Dillon. Suggestion, cut your drops off practically to flat bars. Why do you need the pointy end of a seat? Cut that off too! Drill random holes in your frame.

[@eterlizzi]

Omg, the math on the bars/stem part had me 😂

[@peterm.7497]

I did a review on bar end plugs and weighed them and my review was well received.

[@peterm.7497]

Yeah, your point on body weight is so true. At some point I realized all the weight savings wasn't worth it -- considering my body type and athletic lack of prowess -- and comfort is more important than bike weight.

[@jimmansi1187]

Awesome video & so true, if riders would work on keeping their own weight down & making their bodies stronger then they would be strong on any bike. I sometimes ride my mid 90’s steel framed 30 lb bike & have no trouble keeping up, being comfortable is more important than shaving weight

[@mikesima9396]

For MTB crowd: Lose the visor, or better yet go road helmet, more vents make you "cooler" anyway. Bar tape or handbar grips never more than a few mm think and for road only on the bars where hands go... MTB always slick centre tires, just brake in the corners. Hey ever try carbon brake pads on them carbon rotors? Thanks BHG you are always on point

[@jirkaoja267]

Best video so far from this channel

[@TheMrbrookster]

Backhat dude is a legend, he defiantly understands the finer points of becoming the ultimate cyclist, weird chick, left before he said how many titanium bolts were in the brake rotor.

[@jussikoiranen3414]

Don't forget carbon sole road shoes (modified to fit mtb cleats). I found that tip from KZbin ;)

[@jeskli11]

Running no pressure is also a significant weight benefit. If you do that, you don't even need the valves! And running just the very necessary amount of spokes is a must too!

[@PedalandTrek]

BHD makes some good points in the this video. I think he is on to something.

[@solitaryrefinement6787]

"That's a 5 gram savings right there; Where's my credit card at?" This used to be me @ 02:30 😂

[@rasmuswi]

What are your thoughts on drilling holes in the indoor trainer to make it lighter? Would that make me faster? Oh, and the workstand, and various tools I use to work on my bike? Should I drill a few holes in them to get the weight down?

[@thomasjackson4702]

I'm ashamed to admit it, but I went through this phase about 6 years ago. After several double flats and stuff breaking on every ride. I went back to what was reliable and have never went back to the 'LIGHT' stuff. Figured I could loose pounds of body weight (change diet) cheaper, could also loose up to 1kg after going to the bathroom.. Lolol... Great video...

[@sandyh5873]

I had a friend you contacted the tech team of a bottom bracket manufacturer to find out how much he could file the bracket down to reduce the “q factor”. The tech team told him if he wanted to make the bike faster he should ride it.

[@aqssufi9054]

My core hurts that's hilarious! Kudos Dylan👍

Please do more of these!

[@danielweatherspoon2642]

is this your best video ever? yeah, yes it is!

[@tajburrows]

Thanks for the great videos Dylan , and loved the backed up science literature stuff. Could you do a video soon about the science/literature of sleeping pills if they are good or bad for your performance especially before race day . Sure some suffer with bad sleep or restless nights after hard training blocks and race night? Thanks

[@neesehome2]

Swap the topic bike weight with history, and BHD was me in college talking with girls. I, uh, got better over time.

[@comtruise9779]

I'm riding an 11kg steel gravel bike for training that is sturdy, comfortable, and easy to maintain, but KOM hunting on it is impossible, and I only have 25 Strava followers. My thinking is to get a 2nd job, cut my training from 15 hours a week to 3, and build a 7.41kg carbon everything KOM crusher. Then I'll just spend my 3 hours of training doing max efforts that will hopefully bring in more Strava glory and followers. Is this the perfect plan?

[@Grunge_Cycling]

Most people can save more weight by getting lipo suction. But that being said, currently building a Merida Scultura that's gonna be sub-6.

[@eterlizzi]

Bro, I removed my cables. Soooo much lighter. I can’t stop or shift, but when u race, it’s all about GOING anyway! Soooo light!

Yo BHD, I just finished building up a single speed hill climbing bike. Good idea or best idea?

When it comes to hiking though it definitely helps a bunch to fuss over weight. A 50 pound backpack really isn't fun to carry. Get it to below 25 pounds or (much) less and your hikes will be much more enjoyable.

[@slebla240]

I just learned about pro’s squirting our water b4 climbs. I forgot where I saw this... XC?

You forgot to mention that you need to weigh everything, and then send it back to the shop/supplier if it is 1g over the stated weight and only complain with the worst attitude!

[@ianfurqueron5850]

Someone apparently asked for a 100% WWBHDD video? As a recovering (sometimes) weight weenie, I've been guilty of many of these...

[@bb3xhrhj]

Plucking your eyelashes and ripping out your nails may hurt, but so does carrying that weight up a hill. Bloodletting is also very effective.

[@mateagoston8145]

Dylan, can you please make a video in the future about how to maximise our performance/potential if sy is naturally/genetically less talented than the average or if sy doesn't know how talented (s)he is but still has a serious ambition to become eg. a cat 1 or 2 racer? Is it worthy to go to an advanced sports centrum or hiring a personal trainer to find out where we are on the scale? Personally I am 23 yrs old, slightly faster than an average road cyclist, my weight is circa 200-210 lbs. My body type is probably between mesomorph and endomorph and has shorter legs, but I hardly know anything about my genes themselves. I am looking forward to race some 1,5 to 3 hour long races and TTs, but later would do more 6 to 24 or even 30 hour long races or personal challenges.

[@iiLouixie]

Instead of a center lock system I run a six bolt system with two bolts. I save so much weight with that.

I love the "(Funny)" part of the title. You know without it, there would be some uncritical, too-serious, insulting comments. I'm actually surprised there aren't some anyway. I'm not a weight weenie except when it comes to my body...working on losing those extra pounds. Almost there!

This is pure gold. And I've been saying that since I started getting serious about road cycling!!!!! Isn't it much easier to just lose weight instead of spending the Netherlands GDP buying stupid carbon stuff for your bike?!?!? And in the end those marginal gains won't make any difference in your lame-ass club rides every other weekend. So yeah, this video is absolutely on point!!

[@NewEnglandDirtRoadie]

[@vivoslibertos]

Proofs that things get complicated and heavy if you use metrics as measurement unit.

[@davidking3699]

Tip for BHD... trim the peak of your hat down to the shape and size of road ride style cap... and another one for the hardcore weight savers ... try and breath only Nitrogen, because Oxygen is so much heavier - esp. when it comes in bonded pairs i.e O2... Hydrogen is preferred, but harder to find in bottles big enough to last a whole race... or as DR would say... "Hydrogen the F**k up"

[@graeme8934]

[@mahiru20ten]

So, are some big name athletes also weight weenies? I mean a certain someone who ended his name with Merckx drilled many things on his hour record bike (mainly the levers), making it really light, even for a track bike at that time.
