me 300lbs
bike 32lbswhat is that ratio.
Posted 1 year ago # -
Me: 74Kg
Commuter: 15Kg = 4.93
Mtb: About 11Kg = 6.72
Road bike: About 8Kg = 9.25The ratio between the two is pretty much irrelevant. The total weight you have to haul around isn't.

I'm a 9 stone woman on a 'do-it-all' dirt jump bike (wait til I get a proper DH bike!) it's a wonder I don't just give up now

ton, youre looking at about 10:1 there matey, meaning you're a LOT heavier than your bike, as am I. Not good or bad, you might have a light bike or a heavy body like me

fair point, I was just wondering how damned heavy your bike was! But ~31 isnt too heavy.

Well we have done this to death before - no there is nothing particularly fragile or unreliable on there. Gets raced and not treated all that carefully. Of course I weighed rather less than I do now when I got it - have been on a weight gain programme over the last year or so!I think ton is winning with the highest proportion of bodyweight to proper (ie MTB with gears) bike at the moment.

What's with this metric business?

Me, fat 42 yr old on my lush HT:
= 210 : 22 (pounds)
= 9.55 : 1
...need to lose my pounds pre-Maaaaaayhem!!!!

Thinking I might just win this one..
4.5:1
Me: just under 55kg
Bike: around 12kgNo wait, just saw miaowing_kats. Could still win the male category. Assuming the lower the ratio the better of course.

Well, if it's a competition, I shall use my other bike
Me 9st12
'DH' bike 34Lbs (old 5" coil sprung Marin, RSt Hi5's etc. Proper retro)4.095:1

Could still win the male category
nope you dont look again
and even if we've done it to death I don't think a sub 10kg bike is a proper mtb and I happily provide you with a sofa and shuttle to some real trail to test it.

Ah dam. How about we do a total weight thread..? Might have a better chance at that..
Posted 1 year ago # -
Me in kit 80kg
Bike 12kg
ratio 6.66Posted 1 year ago # -
Tony, yours is 9.375:1
which is quite impressive.
ie twice what mine is
and I don't know if it's a good thing or bad.
either way you win
Posted 1 year ago # -
Pretty sure this has been done before... Nonetheless,
3.48:1
Eat that*, STW fatties!
*not literally, put down the fork!

3.48:1? How heavy must your bike be?
Posted 1 year ago # -
May have skewed the results somewhat by using this
Would have been (marginally) different if I'd used the HT.Posted 1 year ago # -
That's a beast. Looks nice. First time I think I've ever wished I had a heavier bike..
