I have recently taken up "running" because my mountain bike is about 14kg too heavy. still wear cycling kit though, I wouldn't want to be mistaken for a runner...
LOL. This video totally made my day, hilarious. Reminds me of this one customer at a bikeshop I used to work at that would weigh everything he bought. THis one time he actually weighted every single jersey we had to select the lightest one, and I don't mean different jerseys, he weighed every single size M jersey of the same model he wanted. After that, we started hiding the scale everytime he walked in. Interestingly enough, the guy never won a race, go figure.
She got totally turned off when you said titanium bolts.. bad move BHD, we all know aluminum bolts are lighter, hydro dipped to look like carbon of course.
Man, girls like bright colors. Now you can get aluminum bolts even in hot pink. Although one must keep in mind that the coating carries some weight penalty.
Love your irony!😅 the hip replacement part is so funny. Step 7 is so on point! See many on ultra light bikes, with their belly almost resting in the toptube when they try to be aero😂 I think the metric scale is: 1g of bike weight = 250g of rider weight.
Damn, Backwards hat Dylan. She left her oven on. You could’ve put bread in her oven but she didn’t want your weight weenie! 😉🤣😂 No, Seriously... This was a good video! I find myself complaining about my 18lb bike when I, Myself, Am 30lbs overweight. 🤦🏻♂️ I LOVE climbing and sometimes I really do wish I just had an all around lighter bike but I know the one thing that will help me get up hills faster than any bike I could buy is just simply losing all this excess weight and body fat. I’ve been losing weight consistently and training correctly with all your advice! So for that, I am forever grateful to you.
What are your thoughts on drilling holes in the indoor trainer to make it lighter? Would that make me faster? Oh, and the workstand, and various tools I use to work on my bike? Should I drill a few holes in them to get the weight down?
Yeah, your point on body weight is so true. At some point I realized all the weight savings wasn't worth it -- considering my body type and athletic lack of prowess -- and comfort is more important than bike weight.
Great stuff! I feel this is the real Dillon. Suggestion, cut your drops off practically to flat bars. Why do you need the pointy end of a seat? Cut that off too! Drill random holes in your frame.
For MTB crowd: Lose the visor, or better yet go road helmet, more vents make you "cooler" anyway. Bar tape or handbar grips never more than a few mm think and for road only on the bars where hands go... MTB always slick centre tires, just brake in the corners. Hey ever try carbon brake pads on them carbon rotors? Thanks BHG you are always on point
Awesome video & so true, if riders would work on keeping their own weight down & making their bodies stronger then they would be strong on any bike. I sometimes ride my mid 90’s steel framed 30 lb bike & have no trouble keeping up, being comfortable is more important than shaving weight
Backhat dude is a legend, he defiantly understands the finer points of becoming the ultimate cyclist, weird chick, left before he said how many titanium bolts were in the brake rotor.
could You discuss about Intervals? the types and which benefit could We get from each one, so that will be a strong tool to pick up the right one. thanks a lot
Running no pressure is also a significant weight benefit. If you do that, you don't even need the valves! And running just the very necessary amount of spokes is a must too!
I'm riding an 11kg steel gravel bike for training that is sturdy, comfortable, and easy to maintain, but KOM hunting on it is impossible, and I only have 25 Strava followers. My thinking is to get a 2nd job, cut my training from 15 hours a week to 3, and build a 7.41kg carbon everything KOM crusher. Then I'll just spend my 3 hours of training doing max efforts that will hopefully bring in more Strava glory and followers. Is this the perfect plan?
Dylan, can you please make a video in the future about how to maximise our performance/potential if sy is naturally/genetically less talented than the average or if sy doesn't know how talented (s)he is but still has a serious ambition to become eg. a cat 1 or 2 racer? Is it worthy to go to an advanced sports centrum or hiring a personal trainer to find out where we are on the scale? Personally I am 23 yrs old, slightly faster than an average road cyclist, my weight is circa 200-210 lbs. My body type is probably between mesomorph and endomorph and has shorter legs, but I hardly know anything about my genes themselves. I am looking forward to race some 1,5 to 3 hour long races and TTs, but later would do more 6 to 24 or even 30 hour long races or personal challenges.
Thanks for the great videos Dylan , and loved the backed up science literature stuff. Could you do a video soon about the science/literature of sleeping pills if they are good or bad for your performance especially before race day . Sure some suffer with bad sleep or restless nights after hard training blocks and race night? Thanks
I had a friend you contacted the tech team of a bottom bracket manufacturer to find out how much he could file the bracket down to reduce the “q factor”. The tech team told him if he wanted to make the bike faster he should ride it.
Trying my best both to win that Strava segment, and the Monday night group ride race to the stop sign. Got it - Lose 10 pounds on my bod, but do I really need to forgo cool bike stuff that weighs less?
I'm ashamed to admit it, but I went through this phase about 6 years ago. After several double flats and stuff breaking on every ride. I went back to what was reliable and have never went back to the 'LIGHT' stuff. Figured I could loose pounds of body weight (change diet) cheaper, could also loose up to 1kg after going to the bathroom.. Lolol... Great video...
Got us replacing all our 100 gram parts now with a 99 gram components regardless of all other factors, including costs, durability, and overall design and functionality
@@DylanJohnsonCycling I actually worked on a bike a while back that came in with 3 bolts, naive me thought the guy had lost them and I replaced them to be nice, just to be yelled at by the customer when he picked up his bike
dylan, i've been trying to find information about how electro-cardioversions (to correct atrial fibrilation) affect athletic performance heart rate. you seem to be adept at finding very specified studies. do you happen to know where i might find info around this?
So, are some big name athletes also weight weenies? I mean a certain someone who ended his name with Merckx drilled many things on his hour record bike (mainly the levers), making it really light, even for a track bike at that time.
When it comes to hiking though it definitely helps a bunch to fuss over weight. A 50 pound backpack really isn't fun to carry. Get it to below 25 pounds or (much) less and your hikes will be much more enjoyable.
i'd be actually interested in the performance gain from let's say 2kg on the overall bike. what time benefit is there to gain (if at all) by dropping some weight from the bike?
You forgot to mention that you need to weigh everything, and then send it back to the shop/supplier if it is 1g over the stated weight and only complain with the worst attitude!
They make carbon fiber seats? Why? Plain old plastic works fine for making a seat (they've been making bike seats out of plain old plastic for many decades), which is lighter than carbon fiber: Carbon Fiber Composite - 1.55 g/cm³ Nylon - 1.15 g/cm³

Any crucial weight weenie tips that I missed?
Remove the cock and balls to save between 30-500 g. I did it and dont regret anything!
Wearing warm or winter clothes is forbidden.
Always wear shorts, and jersey without sleeves even on winter
A customer came in one day asking to not over do it with the tubeless sealant, and to use only 30ml per tire as that was enough to seal the tires.
For kom hunting, give your garmin to your friend on the scooter or in the car
@@statosphereonline2008 I guess you can get into more aero position as well. Win Win!
I have recently taken up "running" because my mountain bike is about 14kg too heavy. still wear cycling kit though, I wouldn't want to be mistaken for a runner...
and cleats, you stayed with cleats, right?
@@kati2426 yes, of course (I also wear shoe covers when I run to be more aero).
@@aledge6317 but they need to be roadie cleats, not those lame mountain bike metal ones that don't fit carbon shoes.
My surgeon went with old school titanium for my hip replacement...I have NEVER forgiven him....LOL
Did he use a torque wrench?
Drill Holes !
I don't understand what's "funny" about this video. BHD brings up some great points.
Gringos are like dat. Gringos humor. Lol
You are a weight weenie obviously 😜

So it turns out even the lighter wallet didn't help

Oh my God 😂 Disk brakes and durian Rider, that was so funny 😂😂. 3:00
Loved the Durian rider diss
Totally made my day. I never liked the other guy who was calmly dispensing truth and wisdom. BHD RUELZ!!!
Backwards hat Dylan is stepping up his game immensely. Impressive.
FINALLY!!! We get a whole video of Backwards hat Dylan giving us some pearls of wisdom
Dylan, thanks for the 5 minutes of sustained chuckling. It's much needed in these times!
So this is what happens when BHD takes over the channel
you got it backwards, he runs the channel dylan is just a nerdy sidekick
Love your irony!😅 the hip replacement part is so funny.
Step 7 is so on point! See many on ultra light bikes, with their belly almost resting in the toptube when they try to be aero😂
I think the metric scale is:
1g of bike weight = 250g of rider weight.
Bro this is just to true I consider myself a weight Winnie and had a good laugh at this
Omg, the math on the bars/stem part had me 😂
Dylon, thanks for a great laugh! Brilliant video on some of the obsessive behaviours we see on the road! Keep it up! Enjoy all your posts.
You got a problem with roadies man!?
Just found your channel. This guy's a GENIUS!!!
It's the straight face that slays me. Great lockdown entertainment!
By the time you said 'interactive spreadsheet' I was in tears.
What’s so funny is that Dylan has done all these weight saving
Damn, Backwards hat Dylan. She left her oven on. You could’ve put bread in her oven but she didn’t want your weight weenie! 😉🤣😂
No, Seriously... This was a good video!

I did a review on bar end plugs and weighed them and my review was well received.
What are your thoughts on drilling holes in the indoor trainer to make it lighter? Would that make me faster? Oh, and the workstand, and various tools I use to work on my bike? Should I drill a few holes in them to get the weight down?
Best video so far from this channel

"VO4 Max" "HR Zone 7" 😂
Beast mode hyper-gain cupcake flavor fueled, for fightin :) .
"That's a 5 gram savings right there; Where's my credit card at?"
This used to be me @ 02:30 😂
Don't forget carbon sole road shoes (modified to fit mtb cleats). I found that tip from TH-cam ;)
The zwift KOMS on the background are a nice finnishing touch😂😂
Please do more of these!

Forgot about cutting off the drops. KOMs are only uphill right?
The weight list was great, the amount of times I see people ask about their "breaks" 😄
Lol. Nice touch with the misspellings on the spreadsheet!
Running discs and not a carbon fiber canti brake with only one filed down pad installed... Thought this was a weight weenie video. 😂
Real weight weenies ride fixed
Great tips! Hey, who was that guy who endo’d? He looks strikingly similar to the guy pushing his mountain bike up the technical sections.

Ladies love the KOM's BHD but they just don't care the lengths you to get them smh.
I thought the g/f was going to start doing the suicides from the comedy movie, Airplane!
is this your best video ever? yeah, yes it is!
Have you done any videos on the benefits of having a personal coach?
Most people can save more weight by getting lipo suction. But that being said, currently building a Merida Scultura that's gonna be sub-6.
A vegan, a crossfitter and weight weenie walk into a bar. How do I know? Because they told everyone within the first two minutes!
Great video DJ!
Dylan's vegan.

Suhh BHD ma dude! Can you do a tutorial on putting your rim brake pads in the microwave to improve performance, thanks!
Ahh...been waiting for this. Thanks.
Got us replacing all our 100 gram parts now with a 99 gram components regardless of all other factors, including costs, durability, and overall design and functionality
Great fun! Great video!
Yo BHD, I just finished building up a single speed hill climbing bike. Good idea or best idea?
Great Video, and I liked that you included Durian Rider I just hate his bad language videos! 😁
He is a moron pretending he knows a lot about cycling.
Gold! This is hilarious. I ride with a few weight weenies. Yes, it is compensated by the weekly post ride to Hooters. 🤷🏻♂️
How much brake rotor bolts do you run?
Most of the time two but if there is a lot of climbing just one and I crank that thing down!
@@DylanJohnsonCycling I actually worked on a bike a while back that came in with 3 bolts, naive me thought the guy had lost them and I replaced them to be nice, just to be yelled at by the customer when he picked up his bike
@@poochie8208, you should have told him that the bolts were hollowed out.
Great vid Dylan! Lots of great ideas!! Gotta go.....
dylan, i've been trying to find information about how electro-cardioversions (to correct atrial fibrilation) affect athletic performance heart rate.
you seem to be adept at finding very specified studies.
do you happen to know where i might find info around this?
Swap the topic bike weight with history, and BHD was me in college talking with girls. I, uh, got better over time.
Bro, I removed my cables. Soooo much lighter. I can’t stop or shift, but when u race, it’s all about GOING anyway! Soooo light!
Backwards Hat Dylan deserves his own parody channel.
So, are some big name athletes also weight weenies? I mean a certain someone who ended his name with Merckx drilled many things on his hour record bike (mainly the levers), making it really light, even for a track bike at that time.
Levers in a track bike?
I want to hear about the break rotor
When it comes to hiking though it definitely helps a bunch to fuss over weight. A 50 pound backpack really isn't fun to carry. Get it to below 25 pounds or (much) less and your hikes will be much more enjoyable.
Dylan, are your training plans available on training peaks?
i'd be actually interested in the performance gain from let's say 2kg on the overall bike. what time benefit is there to gain (if at all) by dropping some weight from the bike?
Pretty easy to calculate, Google - bike calculator. And yes, it makes a difference on a steep long climb.
GCN has videos on this.
dude...so glad summer is around the corner and I can ditch my 8kg cx bike for my 7kg road bike!
How many brake rotor bolts does BHD use?
I spray insect repellant on my bike. Any fly landing on it would just add weight.
Bruh you're hilarious! Had to share with my club 🤣🤣🤣
5 Stars DJ!!!!
So how many bolts on the rotor?
What about hollow spokes?
Instead of a center lock system I run a six bolt system with two bolts. I save so much weight with that.
Ok. That was awesome. But now we need sidewards hat Dylan...he's like backwards hat Dylan but gangsta:)
Wait, what if we DO want to know how many brake rotor bolts he runs?
Don't go brake rotor bolts, you can save 15g if you use the bike ahead adapter!
Plucking your eyelashes and ripping out your nails may hurt, but so does carrying that weight up a hill. Bloodletting is also very effective.
Really funny. Constantly switching from grams to pounds gets confusing tho, can we just stick to metric?
So he says he has an 11 pound bike and then proceeded to describe all the parts in grams? How much is 11 pounds in KG?
I did use just 3 bolts on my brake rotors and I destroyed 2 rotors because I had just 60-70 grams rotors norm one probably wouldn't be destroyed
You forgot to mention that you need to weigh everything, and then send it back to the shop/supplier if it is 1g over the stated weight and only complain with the worst attitude!
good video bud.👍
I was hoping to learn where I can shed more weight. This is nothing new. Perhaps, a part 2 video is in order.
They make carbon fiber seats? Why? Plain old plastic works fine for making a seat (they've been making bike seats out of plain old plastic for many decades), which is lighter than carbon fiber:

How do you even get a date? I spend all my time with Excel :(
Omg... this was hilarious. Good job! I have probably done half of those in the past... still funny though 😂
