Surely has to save 2 or 3 grams at the very least!

Nice.

Riding naked would save a few grams. Also take out my dentures when doing a TT.

You'd save more if you ate it at the start of the ride and so avoid carrying the skin sround.

Also useful to visit the toilet one last time before turning the pedals. Just in case.

Just leave your spare tube and tools at home to save weight.

And you'll lose even more pounds taking a taxi/train home.

fill your water bottle with Alcohol, it's lighter.

Crap

 

[Ming the Merciless]

Remove your front wheel to save weight as you wheelie past all your mates with superior power to weight ratios.

 

[Drago]

Remove those pesky brake cables to reduce weight. If you're genuinely interested in going fast you wont be needing them anyway.

 

[Ming the Merciless]

Brakes slowing you down? Remove them to save weight and gain even more speed.

 

[Ming the Merciless]

Saddle making you have a sit down instead of sprinting up that road? Remove that saddle, reduce weight, and develop legs of steel.
