Equals 24.2508 pounds. Now I understand, significant!

I had similar results on our Bashan, so far I removed well over 15 pounds of fat off the bike...
Next up for the Bashan's weight loss program is some lighter rims (I'm looking at Warp 9 or Excel rims) that I will seal up and make Tubeless to save even more weight (tubes can get heavy depending on what Ultra Duty Version you buy) |

i want to lose more weight, so i only eat fruit salad at night :hmm: eh, no, i mean weight on the zong :D, so should rims be on my list? the frame of the zong200 is always gonna be heavy, but bringing her down just below 90 kg should be possible. |
more weight loss:
changed stock tank to a clarke tank and only filled it half! clarke alum fuel cap reduces weight further... |
Now that you hyped it up...Waiting for the big reveal !
