Which World Tour Team Has The LIGHTEST Bike

[@GCNuser123]

UPDATE! A Note from Cannondale - The team bikes reportedly have an average weight of 7.4kg (some are lighter/some are a little heavier). 7.78kg mentioned on screen is for a systemsix, but some imagary depicts an EVO which is actually lighter.

One caveat: using the same Park Tool scale, I've found that bikes can vary by up to 0.5 kg on successive weighings, due to amount of arm shake, location of the placement of hooks (ideally weight should be evenly distributed on the two arms), wind, and other factors. Spoke with Calvin at Park Tool about this 3 years ago, and he said the best way is to weigh the bike with the scale in a clamp, or if handheld, take averages. He also said that bike weight doesn't really matter that much (unless there's a big difference).

[@czeckson74]

ParkTool scale is SHIITE (would hambini say)

[@bilwit]

the bikes weighed were also not the same size across all, nor did they have the same wheel depth setup for the same parcours

[@Michael-s5i5j]

Absolutely, scale needs to be on a fixed platform, not hand held

[@8rk]

You just gotta hang it with its strap from a very sturdy (i.e. not flexing) place. It's very consistent that way. Even clamping to workstand doesn't work cause with the weight of the bike whole thing flexes.

But does aero actually matter this much for pros in a peloton?

You guys should do an episode on how to lighten bike weight for us, common folks. The restriction - have to set a realistic cost:savings ratio, e.g cannot be more than 10 US$ per 1W savings or 10 US$ per 250 gm savings. I sure you guys can come up with a better limit.

I love Cannonade bikes, always have. Hate their company/ customer service. But it's pretty wild to think that they are riding a +17lb bike in professional races. Yes I'm american so the Kilo's confuse me and I had to get the google calculator out. Hydraulic disc brakes and electronic group sets sure do take a toll on the weight.

[@plantfuelled8912]

These days there is a push for wider tires. The claim is that you will be faster and more comfortable. However this is all based on pseudo-science because the surface type and rider weight dictates the tire width and pressure. It's simply a way to kill off rim bikes without mentioning the word 'brake'. I have a ten year old alloy bike with light-ish alloy wheels that weighs about the same as a $10,000 pro level aero bike. Yes, I prefer disk brakes but not the weight, so for me I'd rather just have slightly worse brakes and narrower tires on my summer bike spend a lot less, $3000 gets me a mechanical rim brake bike that's as light as a $10,000 disk brake bike. I'd rather have that other $7000.

#askgcntech Alex suggested in that video to switch from a 28mm tire to a 23mm in order to save weight. But what about the rolling resistance? If I remember correctly Josh from Silca said in one of his videos that a Continental GP5000 compared to GP4000 saves you the same amount of energy on a 10% climb like losing 0,5kg. So weight weenies should also be rolling resistance weenies. Would be interesting to know wich tirewith actually is the fastest uphill.

26 seconds is a MASSIVE amount of time over AdH! Even half of that is quite significant. If you're performing at the top level, 4 watts is quite a big deal to add on to your threshold.

[@HarryFunmaker]

Exactly. Weird of them do downplay that difference. The Giro was decided by 14 seconds over 3 weeks. The 2024 TDF is going to have more than 50,000 meters of climbing this year. There has to be a balance between weight and aerodynamics.

[@dominicbritt]

…. Yeah but EF would not race up any mountain stage on a System Six. This whole video is pointless. Teams use different wheel sets for climbing stages….

[@tonictones]

@@dominicbritt Indeed, they do change up their equipment obviously, am not sure if the current supersix is currently 6.8kg. Just addressing the point made that weight doesn't make a difference. It certainly does! 4 watts is a solid few weeks of gains when your threshold is over 400 watts.

[@meibing4912]

Aero times are a lot better going downhill, so its not all a loss and aero advantages will also take away some of the the 26 sec going uphill, just as the deeper rims with larger tires may reduce the rolling resistance. You cannot isolate one factor from all others if you want a fair comparison. I don't do the "superman", but I still "outrace" everyone on the steeper descents (>6%) without touching my pedals just by taking an somewhat radical body aero position, with my deep wheels and narrow aero bars (and I'm just a go lucky amateur).

[@tonictones]

@@meibing4912 Not a WT pro and would typically not rush the descents and prefer not risking my life, just aiming for climbing KOMs for fun! Be careful out there.

Please don't be returning to the weight loss at any cost. Back in the late 1980s, I remember when some people were obsessed with reducing the overall weight of the bike. To the point where brake levers were drilled out to such an extent that structural integrity was at a bare minimum. Cranks were thinned and drilled. Frames were denuded of paint and highly polished. Stems (quill stems back then) were drilled out. Seatposts were (judiciously) drilled out. In fact, anything that wasn't important in making the bike go, was drilled out to reduce weight.

@GCN Surely you’re missing something when they were using the “ Aero trumps weight over a TDF stage” counter argument. If they were riding solo or in a small group i tend to agree, but the majority of GC contenders will be in the peloton getting the big draft and even when slightly more exposed when they string it out, they will be nicely tucked middle or back of the of the teammates wheels. Surely the lightest bike with the most aero features they can get away with will seem them unleash the watts saved in the pack when finally exposed on a climbs where aero doesn’t have as much effect.
