Wondering if some people can help me out before I order up a new set of PEP shocks.
Basically, I need to know how much weight I should tack on (riding gear) in addition to my body weight so I can get the right shocks.
I'm away at school, so I don't have access to my gear or I would just weigh everything myself, but I think I can get pretty close with an estimate.
My average gear consists of:
- Shoei VFX-R helmet (3 lbs - known weight)
- Alpinestars Tech 8 boots (8 lbs best guess)
- 661 knee pads (0.5 lbs)
- Riding shorts/jersey/gloves (1.5 lbs?)
- Smith warp star goggles (0.1 lbs ?)
Total: ~ 13 lbs...
Anything seem way off or need to be changed? Looking for suggestions so I can get a good estimate. If anyone knows how much Tech 8's weigh that would help a lot (I know they are pretty hefty). Thanks
