Weight Training

Stock weight of the girls bikes is 26.92lbs.

I plan to change the pedals, saddle, seat post, cranks, handlebars, and make them tubeless (at least on all Lauren’s bike). I’m hoping that gets me to 24lbs.

Is it worth it? Is that enough? Not sure.

I’m considering a light weight bottom bracket too.

Most of these parts I can and plan to carry forward to new/bigger bikes as they grow, so they’ll get more years of use.

I say Lauren mostly, because she is only 7 and this is a lot to be peddling around through the woods.

Of course the ultimate temptation is this

It costs as much as the bike, but it’s super sweet and super light. Perfect for my girls.

Unfortunately the accountant would never approve.

Anyway, I’ll keep you up to date with progress. I should have a lot of the parts for Lauren’s bike this weekend. Hopefully I can get things installed and we can take it out for a spin
