Hi,
well I want to gain some weight on my present bike
and I'm not very sure where to begin;
- first, i am looking for a wheelset
i need advice for the wheelbuilder option
for a wheelset in the 1550 gr, classic hub,
rim, spoke, easy to self maintain
with a 1550 gr wheelset i gain about 310 gr
- second, i have already moderatly light tyres, michelin krylion
does latex tube give some edge ( advantage and disavantage )
- third, i am thinking to change my handlebar for comfort first,
does carbon make the grade and weight gain
-fourth, the seat post, does it worth the price and comfort
-five, things i did not think
I want to gain about 700 gr, that will place my bike in the 7.8 kg, 17.3
lbs
I ride about 5000 km/year and this is a road bike
Thanks for your suggestions
