Fleet Weigh-In - 2016-0206

Inspired by the very light feeling Scott 29er when riding with M, afterwards I used the trusty bathroom scale for some
quick comparative measurements. I tried to re-weigh myself between bikes and took multiples of each bike to average.

Me 197.3 - mtb ride clothes, full of coffee and oatmeal

Scott - Garmin 500 n mount
222.8 222 223.1 221.6 = avg and minus Me = 25.1 lbs

Me 197.2
Poison - fenders w/some dirt
229.5 227.0 228.3 228.3 229.4 = 31.3 lbs

Me 197.4
Fm166 - lights and tools, no fenders
216.4 216.4 216.4 = 19lbs

Looks pretty consistent, Focus naked would be 17-19 but I ran out of time. Thats half of Poison :/

I suspect the Maxxis Ardent tires are contributing a lot to the 29ers weights, quite substantial rubber compared to the Schwalbes. Fenders and droppers, cheap saddle do not help Poison either.
