Please understand that the following is meant only to show my complete opposite view by use of humor. If a person considers a gram or two important, then I fully support their right to be concerned about it...

But I have to wonder, in a few years when people have gotten past the obsession with a few grams of bike weight, and move on to being obsessed by milligrams

The Top Five questions about how to lower any bicycles weight...

5) Which lubricant weighs the least when properly applied?

4) How few strands do I really need in a brake cable?

3) Is silicone lighter than wax to protect my frame?

2) Which protectant sheds that heavy dust better during my ride?

[Insert drum roll here]

1) I need a fast acting but temporary laxative to lose that extra little bit before the race. What do you suggest?

[Insert sound of rimshot here]
