Now my weight weenie sensibilities are in direct conflict with my sense of style. Look what you've done.
I really wanted to use stainless steel socket set screws to plug the holes in my fork but then I remembered how much extra I spent to get the carbon fiber steerer instead of an aluminum one, all to save 40 grams. I had to go with plastic after that. I figure I gained 1-2mph (psychologically) with the weight savings.
