Weighing 70+ Bikes at the National Hill Climb Championship 

Emily a few weeks ago - I have no interest in being in the spotlight. Emily now - Absolute rock star.

Being a completely bored numbnut, I charted all of these weights. Minimum: 4.53 Median: 7.22 Average: 7.04 Max: 10.33

The British racing scene is unique, strange and so much fun! I hope it never changes.

That 4.53kg Cannondale was wild.

After weighing a 5.5Kg with a sub compact crankset setup: Q: What have you done to it? A: Well it has alot of Aliexpress things on. nuff said😁

Love the diversity of riders, young, old, men & women alike with a spectacular mix of bikes!

Emily is a great host. Some incredible bikes and some surprising weights both heavy and light 😮

Honestly the joy in the depth and breadth of British-bike-nerdiness is real. I had 4 “weighing hill climb bikes” in my feed this morning and this one made me actually happy.

I absolutely love these videos. The fun you guys bring to the conversations, the fun that the participants bring, the pride or lack thereof in their bikes, the sheer joy of participating. It's really infectious and it made me smile as big this year as it did last. Hope you guys make this a permanent tradition!

Excellent video. Simple but enthralling. A definite Cade Media Classic. And the smiles on those cyclists -- even the lad wrapped up in the thermal blanket -- were a joy and a delight. Live long and pedal hard!

I appreciated the guy with the old steel bike of about 10 kg. And I bet he didn't come in last.

great video! loving the effort you guys put in in standing there and weighing all the bikes! and i love the diversity of bikes.

10:00 this dude understands the optimal wheel set up.

Hats off to the guy with the 10kg bike. Madness riding up the hill with that.

I genuinely don't believe that red canyon aeroad weight 6 kg. If you add up the frame, wheels, and ultegra you would get something much closer to 7kg nothing on that bike was super light enough to get it that low. That scale seemed to be doing some funny readings at times.

Really interesting seeing all the different bikes and the age range of the riders as well. Looks like a great time. The weight of the bike only matters if everything else that can be lighter or more aero is also taken care of. As the math and physics dictate, it's all about watts/kg. Feather can hold over 6w/kg, so unless you're a top pro climber, you've got very little chance of beating him. Thankfully I live in FL where there are no real climbs, because I'm a heavier rider. My bike could literally weigh 2kg and I'm still getting dropped when the road goes up. Downhill though, that's where I really shine. 🤣😂

Thank You! 🙏 great to see so many real light weight rim brake bikes!

Emily mic drop is GOLD. Great video. Wish I’d been there! Not to climb that god awful hill, but to cheer everyone else crazy enough to do so! 🤪🤪🤪

Sub 5 kgs bikes are insane… these very young British lads are straight outta Peaky Blinders

As a 64 y.o. rider. so delighted to see the seniors well represented. Ride On!

9:18 "Take the lights off and it's basically 6" 😂😂

I have no intention of ever trying to reduce the weight of my bike, or race it up hills, but this stuff is impressive as hell! (As are the people!) Love it.

Emily's commitment while using the fake mic is amazing. Great video. Buncha nerds out having real fun, going all out on their own creation. I love it.

Absolutely love this. So many different people and bikes just there to race and have fun.

11:51 Dr.Salbutamol is amazing 😂

Best bit: Harry hammering a Paulaner. Cheers.

Loving how much you guys are uploading right now!!

Absolutely loved this… the mentality of the riders, the efforts and humour.. all amazing.. also some future stars in and amongst like Ruby Isaac!

Awesome video,my favourite Cade video this year,so many different people,bike's and bike weights.💯👌🏻🚴‍♀️✌🏻

7.6kg expensive trek emonda disc vs 5.6kg vitus aliexpress for under a grand quid. This video really shows how riders who think latest = greatest get shafted.

Harry was funny 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 And Emily was amazing

8:36 did not expect to see a cube bike!

Fun video. Great production. Loved the age range participating in the event.

great video, wonderful to see so many different ages and people going here

Good to see Young and Old out there having Fun!(Bit if work,but Fun!) 😁

that 4,6 cannondale could have been 4 kg flat with some ez changes. (but not sure about the scales, even good ones heavily depend on the way you hold em)

That was fun, good job Nic has a strong arm weighing all those bikes,Emily now Cade media's roving reporter.

Top film! Great variety of bikes!!!!

I have another bucket list event. That looks like a punishingly good time. Thanks for taking me along.

Mostly stock apart from wheels, Canyon aerode rim at 6.0kg was probably the biggest surprise to me! Seriously light for an aero bike!

This was an awesome video. Love seeing Emily in action.

Props to Nick for curling bikes all day. dude is probably jacked to the tits.

This was so much better than expected. More!

Great insight. Em,s mile drop at the end got me 😂😂

Dunno why the B roll between interviews gave me The Office vibes 😂 great video guys

Spoiler alert: these kids know their bikes VERY well

Now we know where all the old, rim brake SuperSixEvo's are!

Jolly lot you British hill climbers. Cheers from Sicily.

Brilliant. What an amazing bunch of lovely characters

scale seems off on that aeroad @7:50

One of the first.. Even though I am by far not as light as those bikes 😂. Loving the diversity of your content... Greetz from Germany. 🎉

So happy to see so many women at the event! If I had only seen GCN and bikeradar's coverage of the hill climb I might have thought there were only men present...

Amazing video.. love to see National Hill Climb Championship. best wishes

At first glance I thought this vid would be arb but it was actually great fun! Some good pointers as to which second hand bikes to look out for. Those hillclimbs look a right lark, definitely going to check them out when I come over there next year

15:44 is my fave

great to see the kids getting involved.

Drink for each cannondale supersix evo mentioned.

Emily's awesome!

At 2:38, I have never seen more scatchy Discs than this jesus christ lol

Now that was one very enjoyable video chapeau Team Cade 😁👌🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🚴🏻‍♂️🚴🏻‍♂️🚴🏻‍♂️🚴🏻‍♂️🚴🏻‍♂️🚴🏻‍♂️🚴🏻‍♂️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

I really enjoyed this vid, thanks team.

the headset top cap and bung or top cap and bolt is purely for bearing preload.. once the stem is tightened to the fork steerer the aheadset top cap and bolt can be removed..

Can’t quite figure out how the Aeroad at 7:47 weighs only 6 kg. Regular saddle, regular stem, 45 mm deep wheels… impressive.

Great video. I think I could watch that for hours.

'the riders got a right gut on him' rings a bell there.. 😁

8:05 loved to see something classic!!

Amazing mic drop ending. Yay Emily!

I love seeing people with older bikes. Just goes to show that you don’t need to spent thousands on modern bikes a tech

Calibration required 😂

Beard on a Bike 🤣 (he has his on vlog of the day, brilliant watch)

"melted like a sloppy carrot"... love your channel.

Great video, special mention for Emily's mic drop and Nick's you've lost some bolts chat.

Emily definitely dropped that mic 😅......a proper fun video team Cade Media 👏 Any guesses as to the collective total weight of the weighed bikes in the video? 🤔🙂

Let’s have more of Emily hosting your show. She’s a refreshing change. Cheers!

I dont believe that canyon aeroad was 6kg 😂

Loved this video. Just what we all need to know about hillclimb bikes, 'how much does it weigh'.

Gotta love Nial with his fake Colnago. He is the spirit of hillclimb.

I would go for the s3. Very light and very aero. Essentially it's 6.6kg not modified. Lighter seatpost, handlebars and groupset, some shallow but still somewhat aero wheels and you've got yourself a light aero bike sub 6kg. The speed they ride up the climb I think aero still matters a bit

More Emily please, love the mic drop. Great video

that scale seems so dodge ahahaha - brilliant stuff as always!

And the rider has a right gut on him, testify brother!

Holding up all those bikes. How does Nick get such strong wrists 😂

Those rim brake Cannondale Super Six Evo’s are just pure class.

That was surprising enjoyable 😂

If all these hill climbers significantly overestimate the weight of the bike they clearly obsessed about, it kind of makes me doubt the scales...

Awesome💪Best regards Martin

Id take the paint of that first sl6 to go sub 6kg!

Cannondale surely has some old but gold bikes out there.

I have a 11kg MTB from the 90s and it feels amazing can't even imagine a 5kg bike

5:09 bro is humble

Did Emily actually drop the mic at the end?! 😂

How is my medium carbon Giant Defy with carbon roval wheels, dura-ace groupset, carbon saddle, carbon pedals, carbon bottle cages etc. 8.5kg 😭

You are massively wrong! ;) No way that Aeroad was 6kg! For example the Cube aero bike at 8:38 was 7.9kg. Where is the 2kg difference between them? Come on. So how can we trust the rest?

Nice to see Kentucky ballistics is a cycling fan 🤣 🦖

Would love to see the mass of the bike vs hill climb result on a plot

😂😂😂 Thoroughly enjoyable content.

Beard on a bike, me too. Gonna sub.

I think the scale needs to be verified... some of those bikes are mind blowing light...

0:25 Dude, nice valve on front wheel

4.6!!! Feck
