That's an 'AM' bike.

Damn I don't know what I weigh or any of my bikes.
For a 20ft tall guy that's pretty svelte JGG 😛
What type of bike is that?
6.71875:1, my bike weighs 32lb
Which bike? 😉
105kg (Me)
Road bike 19lbs 12.1:1
Full sus XC mtb 28lbs 8.6:1
SS mtb 23lbs 10.0:1
FS:
Me: 76 Kg
Bike: 12.5 Kg
ratio=1:6.8
what's the point in all this bollox then?
I'm not really sure yet
I'm fairly sure its just willy waving/measuring.
soon it will turn into power output per kilo, which is of more use, but potentially even less interest.
Everyone loves to list on STW
me: 67kg
bike: 12kg
5.6:1
damn I hate these lists 😀
we're willy-waving with our maths skills btw
Hey yes, you can divide 1 number by another....gold stars all round!
Me: 65kg
Bike: 13kg

Not sure what it is if I take a dump before riding, as often advised.
Depends...

Me 78Kg. Bikes 14.3kg and 11.3 kg so 5.45 or 6.9
roughly 4:1 so I've a perfect excuse for being slow.

don't care hat the point of the thread is, I'm home sick with a very sore throat and this is keeping me amused
Cotic Soul 5.99:1

Carbon Roadbike 8.55:1
all without Camelbak, kitchen sink etc

is this the STW moron test?
Got you looking though didn't it mudsux 😉 were just a bit bored and sommink to do 🙂
Quite a large range there, much more than I perhaps thought.
Going from Clubber on his SS @ 10:1
...down to Chucky on his DB Alpine @ 4.7:1
I'm kind of interested to see how it changes things.
If clubber gets on his full sus.....
Bike + Rider increase by 2%
Rider:Bike ratio reduces by 14%
Bike weight increases by 22%
8.75:1
Litespeed Ti niota at 26.5lbs, me at 105kg

oo00oo is heavier as is his bike.

Nick is lighter & so is his bike

Ratio 4.27 to 1
Ooh, this is a game I should do well at.
Me: 80kg
FS: 9.75kg
Roadie 6.6kg
That puts me in the FS and overall lead at 8.2 and 12.1 I think 😉
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 bike
Me: 58-60kg
Bike: 10kg
Also the higher the ratio, the higher your CofG is?
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 🙂
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
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 ****er) 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?

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?!
