Do weight weenies ever update their listings?
Or even bother adding in user submitted ones? I've added several rims that aren't listed to the gram and they still haven't been added over 2+ months.
I think it's time somebody started a wikipedia type thing for weights.

Ride it like you stole it
WW says they are backlogged, but I submitted some things last year and they are still not updated, so I would say that they no longer update their pages!

I've submitted stuff that never makes it to print. You see the NEW tags now and then, but it's never what I submit.

Quite a few of the weights I've come across don't match up to what I later bought either. I'm talking more than 10% difference. In one case it was almost 100% more, vredestein latex tubes weighed 100g but listed @ 53g.
edit: There is a thread over there now about a guy complaining about avid cables he bought based on listed weights coming in weighing over 2x as much.
