Still (massively) less than I took when I went camping on it :-o<br /> Explains why pushing along the winter tyres was feeling like hard work :-/ still, good strength training I suppose! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=4559#post-48730 Wed, 30 Nov 2011 16:23:15 +0000 Wilmington's Cow 48730@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Ooh, would be fun even to just try - I need to pop in to talk Surly Pacer with you anyway.

I shall have to stick it on the scales and find out. Of course as you say, weight is relative, and gearing more important :)</p> <p>Lovely video. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=4559#post-48593 Tue, 29 Nov 2011 19:46:24 +0000 Gary Buckham 48593@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Yes, that was myself. I do recall seeing Anth that day and did think about stopping but didn't Wish I had!<br /> Pugsley weighs in at...wait for it...19.3 kg or 42.5 lbs but you don't really notice it unless lugging the bike up cliffs, across dry stone walls, etc. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=4559#post-48410 Mon, 28 Nov 2011 23:46:28 +0000 Arellcat 48410@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Hi Gary, nice to have you on CCE.
