On Usenet a bit ago and a woman is obsessing over whether to use an Sram cassette as its got the right ratios, but shes scared of the 50g "weight penalty" over Dura Ace. :roll: Its not tire or wheel weight, its not swung saddle/post weight. Nope, its 50g that gets you nickel plated steel cogs that run smooth and last long. Its a sip of water or 2 seconds of pee. :lol:
Once your bike gets under 16-20#, its time to just ride the damn thing.
Freaks, I tells ya. :lol:
Ask her if she bothers emptying her bowels prior to mounting her bike.
Wierd nutters! :D lol dont see the point in lightness to be honest sure.. it may make climbs a bastard but come on mun... they are normally fit enough when they are worrying about weight to power up the hills ANYWAY! :)
I think I have added weight to mine :lol:
As M3ta7h3ad says an enema can reduce your weight significantly! :D
Inclined to agree with Max here.. and If she worked out the $/gram ratio of both, I bet she wouldnt go for the dura ace :P
right ratios? aww cmon, just push harder :lol:
Im tempted to tell her to save 400g by dropping the handlebars and steering with a thumb clamped into the stem. :lol:
Some DA stuff is nice, the brifters are legendary quality. You cant rebuild them like Campy, but they dont break and have a three year warranty. On the other hand, the DA cassettes are aluminum and ti, and in addition to costing 2-3X the price of Sram, they only last half as long. :P
