component weights
Postby jules21 » Tue Dec 06, 2016 8:27 pm
here's a few:
Shimano 6700 Ultegra 53/39 chainset (175mm, no pedals, Stages LH crank arm) - 515g (RH) + 202g (stages) = 717g
Shimano 4650 Tiagra 50/34 compact chainset (as per above, no powermeter) - 565g + 239g = 804g
Quarq Riken 50/34 compact chainset w/powermeter (as per above) - 715g + 267g = 982g
Shimano 6700 and 6620 Ultegra pedals (1 only) - both (each) 158g
using digital kitchen scales.
Quarq is heavy

Now you tell me! You should have posted this a bit earlier, now I have to pull the bike apart!jules21 wrote:anyone weigh their components?

Some bits I can tell you immediately, others I'll have to weigh them:
Xentis Squad 2.5SL clinchers- 1135g
Bontrager titanium skewers: 20g each
Pro Vibe 7S stem 110mm: 120g
Specialized Romin Pro saddle 143mm: 160g
Specialized S-Works Carbon Rib Cage bidon holder: 20g
The rest of the bike is:
Dura Ace-9000 53/39 172.5mm (right crank arm)
Dura-Ace 9000 Stages 172.5mm (left crank arm)
Dura-Ace CN-9000 chain
Dura Ace CS-9000 11-25
Dura-Ace ST-9001
Giant TCR Advanced SL3 ISP 54mm frame: 920g according to Giant (thanks BikerJK)
Giant carbon fork: 332g according to Giant (thanks BikerJK)
Giant Contact SLR carbon bars 38cm: 192g
Giant Advanced Road ISP Seat Clamp 40mm
Jagwire Elite Link brake cables
Dura-Ace shift cable set
Planet X Ultra light CNC 7075 alloy brake calipers
Swisstop for Xentis pads
Continental GP4000S II 25mm tyres
Fizik Superlight 2mm Bar Tape - Soft Touch Black
Garmin stem mount
Garmin Edge 800
Total bike weight: 6.6kg.
Rider: 59kg
I have Jagwire Elite Link gear cables, but will only install them when the existing Shimano cables are worn out. Those will save a bit of weight too. If I take the liners out of the tyres, that will also save a bit of weight. Nothing crazy as far as components go, but the bike is pretty light.

I haven't weighed the frame and fork, but I know from lifting them when I was building that bike that they feel really light. But as I've said a few times, I wasn't after absolute lightness on that bike, just light, comfortable to ride and dependable for every day riding, which it so far seems to be.

with my Mavic Cosmic Elite aluminium clinchers - 8.5 kg
my frame is 58cm and is a Hong Fu FM039 full carbon frame and fork.
there's heaps of stuff I could shave weight off - cables, bidon cages, lighter bolts, chop the steerer by 1-2cm (above the stem), lighter seat (Fizik Tundra). I can't be bothered right now though

Bear-in-mind that the weight for the TCR frame I mention presumably includes the integrated seat post, so to compare to other frames without integrated seat posts you'd need to add the weight of their seat post.g-boaf wrote:Thanks for that. I'll add those.

58cm - that says it all! Smaller frame makes the difference. Must be said that the Giant TCR Advanced SL bikes with the ISP and Dura Ace (the old SL1 and SL0) were pretty light straight out of the shop. The SL3 was originally 10 speed Ultegra Di2 and about 7.6kg if I remember right in the medium size. But swap it over to Dura Ace 9000 and get rid of the standard alloy bars for the Contact SLR carbon bars and either the Contact SLR stem or the Pro Vibe 7S stem and you chop off a heap of weight. As far as I'm aware, the SL3, SL1 and SL0 were all the same frame set, just different components and colour schemes.jules21 wrote:6.6kg is super-light. my bike weighed in at 7.5kg with my Enve 25 tubular composites and DT240 hub wheels, plus spare tub tied on and tail-light.

I wonder just how light the small size TCR Advanced SL must be. I have seen one and it looked really, really tiny. The thing had some really exxy looking titanium brakes on it as well.
I'm wary of making any more changes to my bike - it is running well. The wheels were the bit that really cut the weight dramatically - and you feel it too when you accelerate. 300-400g off the frame isn't that obvious, but on the wheels, it feels very dramatic.

I also compare claimed weights to actual weights, and see where my build can improve.
Not that 20g will make any difference in getting up a hill faster

Clinchers? Come on, you can save another 100g with tubsg-boaf wrote:

My clinchers are the same weight as yours, with tyres and tubes. Similar as are my aero carbon tubs with wide tyres.

No, it's fine as it is. Don't want to change anything else on it aside from the shift cables when they need changing.Strawburger wrote:Clinchers? Come on, you can save another 100g with tubsg-boaf wrote:

Handy when you want to change/upgrade something and know what different it will make weight wise.
It's also interesting to see how two of the same components can vary in weight. Had two Selle Italia SLR SuperFlow saddles vary by 28g which seems like a fair bit to me.

the 1st generation Stages were awful and I had endless problems with mine, before finally demanding a replacement. they gave me a 2nd gen one that has been OK so far. the good news is that Stages will apparently replace any and all 1st gen power meters that are causing problems with a new, 2nd gen. one. so they have been pretty good on warranty I reckon.warthog1 wrote:I'm seeing a couple of stages here.

SI flite 1990: 232g
Vetta SL Ti: 215g
did get some hadn scales that also may or maynot be accurate, but give me an idea of the weights
FS bike was 12kg
1 HT at a smidge over 10kg
2n HT at 10.5kg
road bike at 7kg
Since I'm a lardo, they're all plenty light enough for me.
