i fixed my line.

i am referring to rotating mass. i believe that race wheels, that weigh 1kg less that crappy "box" wheels, will be NOTICABLY easier on a dude, after 40 laps of a crit.

with the constant acceleration, dropping the cash for a set of custom light weight racing only wheels, was the best thing i ever did...billions of years ago.

i dont know if theyed make a pinch of squat, over the course of a flat road race, but when youre jumping 4 times a lap, i believe, they matter. i dont know if theyd matter in a rr with any constant speed climbing.
