    I did like the RT80, but compared to a decent aluminium it felt like ridding an elastic band.

    Planet X and On One.....same company.

    Weight of the bike isn’t an issue. It’s the weight of the ride and w/kg.
    If you have a 6.5kg bike, weigh 93.5kg and put out 200w, then a bloke ons 10kg bike at 80kg putting out 200w is gonna be faster.

    having better kit is always great, best upgrade is to lose a stone and ride more.

    saying that, Di2 is a ****ing brilliant upgrade.

    Rider weight makes a big difference obviously, but weight of the bike is always going to help or hinder the rider. Even a fat **** will be able to accelerate, climb hills and move off from a standing start quicker on a lighter bike.

    One of the easiest weight saving options is switching to tubeless tyres. The weight saving is huge and given that the rolling resistance is also lowered it makes a massive difference.

    Nah, it's nice.
    Not ridden it in ages. Not sure how safe I'll be without sight in my right eye.
    Might have to get a mirror for it <laugh>

    erm. I am sure that losing a stone in weight is much better than going tubeless.
