Yea, factoring in in additional sweat loss for carrying 2 extra lbs up a 5 mile climb, the heavy one should be quicker....lolThere is a bike calculator app for iPhones.
5 miles with a 5%grade, rider power =150watts, rider wt=180
29lbs bike takes 49.64 minutes and speed =6.04mph.
27lbs bike takes 49.21 minutes and speed =6.1
so for the cost to decrease a Creo Sl Carbon by 2lbs-26 seconds are saved on a 5 mile climb. On a level 5 mile ride only 2 seconds are saved.
