Sick Lines, a freeride and downhill oriented Web site, has added a new feature to help readers find the real weight of common bicycle components.
So where is Sick Lines going to get all of this verified data? Why from you of course. The beauty of their approach is that they are asking readers to send a picture, name, and description of their component in an e-mail to the editor who will post it for all to see.
I for one, hope this takes off and is wildly successful. Perhaps it will help manufacturers to become more forthcoming about the weight of their frames and components.
Yeah, yeah, yeah...I know...lose five pounds of body weight and stop fretting about every gram of weight on your bike. Well easy for you to say...I could use all the help I can get.
