Ooh, this is a game I should do well at.
Me: 80kg
FS: 9.75kg
Roadie 6.6kgThat puts me in the FS and overall lead at 8.2 and 12.1 I think
Posted 2 years ago # -
well maybe it's like this, taking clubber going from his SS to his FS
Bike + Rider increase by 2% - the difference in the work done
Rider:Bike ratio reduces by 14% - the difference in how the bike feels under you
Bike weight increases by 22% - the difference you feel when you lift the bikePosted 2 years ago # -
Me: 58-60kg
Bike: 10kgPosted 2 years ago # -
Also the higher the ratio, the higher your CofG is?

8.07:1

me 300lbs
bike 32lbswhat is that ratio.
Posted 2 years 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.
Posted 2 years ago # -

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?
Posted 2 years ago # -
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

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 2 years ago # -
Me in kit 80kg
Bike 12kg
ratio 6.66Posted 2 years 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

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 2 years ago # -
May have skewed the results somewhat by using this
Would have been (marginally) different if I'd used the HT.Posted 2 years ago # -
That's a beast. Looks nice. First time I think I've ever wished I had a heavier bike..
