Weights to bring the bike up to the UCI limit. Or so said the
cyclingnews live stage report.

Interesting. I think it might be weight to bring the bike up to the
legal minimum:

Read the 12:01 CST entry, or just search "Gerolsteiner" in that file.

One of those anti-theft devices they put on the bikes to keep you from
sneaking out of the Wal-Mart with them.

weights ala simoni's 6/12, to get it over the UCI minimum?

 

[aotearoa706]

They're weights!
If a bike is under the UCI weight limit it needs to be brought up to weight.
The also put them under water bottle cages and in seat tubes.

At the track World Championships this year we had to put pieces of chain in
one of our girls seat tubes. It's getting to be a pain in the ass. I can
understand it for pro roadies but for a girl that weighs 120 pounds and
rides a steel bike??????

It should go away!

Be careful. I hear that is illegal in several US states
even between consenting adults.

So to speak.

The UCI is doing it to protect the Masters Fatties from trying
to race US$20,000 11 pound bikes and hurting themselves.
