tyres, latex tubes, Hyperon wheels that scrapes 6120 grams. Nya Nya Nya Nya Nya. I rode it, took a [censored], rode it again and reduced the bike/rider combined weight by 5.5%. Then I ate a muesli bar, increasing the recalculated weight by 1.7%. After that, I filled my bidons, put each of them into the $149 carbon fibre bidon cages, altering the bike's weight by a massive 20%! (all calculations incredibly approximate).
I picked up my trusty steed this morning and it felt so light - then I realised, it normally has a bidon of water on it. The weight was the water! I've heard of heavy water, is there a corresponding light water? How much would you be prepared to pay?

Use carbonated water. It weighs less. Every gram counts.

Nah, fill your water bottle from the white frothy bit at the bottom of rapids/waterfalls, that's much lighter. It also has the added benefit of giving you a little bit more oxygen with every sip. You may find that you need to continuously shake the bottle for it to retain these properties though.
