   I only want to stay fit and have fun on my bike. The coolest and best inventions from the last years which end up in my garage are tubeless tires and a gravel bike with a 1 x groupset ( mech.) …

   The manufactures have made their new aero bikes heavy purely so the next model can be marketed as lighter. They’ll have already designed the next few models each being a few 100 grams lighter. It’11 gradually get back down to 6.8kgs with aero frames.

   Hey gotta sell new bikes somehow lol.

   What about added weight at the end of cranks (inside) ?

   I find no comfort in knowing Geraint Thomas can’t get a new crankset if my brake pads are worn out and not available anywhere

    How is the bike weight determined by the uci ? Accesories ? No accesories ? Pedals ? Bottles ? …. Thanks 🙂

    as bike gets faster stability is an issue so you start seeing wider tires better brakes even more aero a 7kg bike and a 8kg bike dosent really mean anything but aero stability drivetrain eficiency frame power delivery and bracking will make a huge differene in laptimes.

    Pro tt’s have so many corners bigger tires would save time in them. Especially now that you can buy wheels wide enough for them.

    Great. I’d like to see bike weigh in’s prior to mountain stages next, please. Cages, pedals, computers, numbers on no bottles of course.

    At the end of day the fastest win. Who cares bike are heavier. They are more aerodynamic. People seems to focus on metrics you can calculate weight.

    It's odd to hear about how Pog rides shoes with laces rather than with Boa dials due to the additional weight but then this year seems to be riding disks every stage which are admittedly much heavier than rims what he rode last year.

    I am glad they weigh bikes without pedals as I don't use my pedals, i like using my bike as a balance bike 🙄

    I feel like the pinnacle of light and useful frames was about 2013 ish and then the focus shifted to aero, disc brakes and different wheels.

    Thanks for speaking the truth on this matter. The prices of these bikes and theyre not even at the uci limit. I thought it was b.s over ten years ago when high end bikes were still 15 lbs and more! I guess the bike companies can keep doctors and lawyers buying the latest model if they keep stringing them along with the obligatory a lttle bit lighter and 12% stiffer. Amazing how these bikes get 12% stiffer every year for the last 20 years.

    Stop the BS! disk brakes are the main reason! Unnecessary weight gain! It’s so ridiculous it belongs on off-road machines not road! Unless you love riding in the rain in the mountains

    Heavier bikes. Faster races. Could it be that chemical detection has (for now) lost the fight against doping? (Are they actually trying anymore?)
