8.07:1

me 300lbs
bike 32lbs

what is that ratio.

Me: 74Kg

Commuter: 15Kg = 4.93
Mtb: About 11Kg = 6.72
Road bike: About 8Kg = 9.25

The ratio between the two is pretty much irrelevant. The total weight you have to haul around isn't.

Me 80kg

Bike (trail setup) 11.5kg
Bike (XC race setup) 11.0kg

Ratio 6.96-7.30:1

9.75kg FS! – is it 'warrantied' for off-road use?

pretty much 4:1

also slow 🙂

Dear god, 4:1!

Me 9st12
FS bike 20.6Lbs

6.699:1

Is 4:1 right? Small skinny guy on huge DH bike?

will someone tell me my ratio please and if it is good or bad.

29lb (dripping wet with proper tires and pedals)

191lb (naked)

6.5:1

In its more sedentary guise with spd's and normal tires its 27lb giving 5.16:1

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.

you think? it's heavy enough for me!

Small skinny guy on huge DH bike?

Nope normal bloke (not your fat fecker) on proper moutain bike.

9.75kg FS! – is it 'warrantied' for off-road use?

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 12kg

No 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.. 😉

Me in kit 80kg
Bike 12kg
ratio 6.66

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 8)

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? 😀

May have skewed the results somewhat by using this

Would have been (marginally) different if I'd used the HT.

That's a beast. Looks nice. First time I think I've ever wished I had a heavier bike..

Me – 80kg
Bike – 18.1kg

Ratio : 4.41

4.8-5:1

61kg – 63kg – me
12.6kg – bike (I think…)

Me in Kit: 98 kilos
Bike: 11 kilos
Ratio: 8.9:1

Feel like a right fat knacker now 🙁

65kg me, bike 18.2 kg= 3.57:1

Can be hard work!

kenneth/ianv FTW!

If lower is better…
I bet you guys can rail turns pretty well?

Me 130kgs bike 13kgs

1:10

4.41 Stumpy Hardtail
3.53 Orange Crush (2007 version)

Short and skinny – Chucky, no wonder I found your alpine hard work to pedal if that's your ratio – how much does that tank weigh?!
