And what if they cut out "the beer" AND two pounds off their bike. That's 7 lbs and they would be even faster up the climb, as long as they didn't compromise their power output.

If you're doing hill climb races, that could be the difference between 1st and 10th place.

edit; sorry. just noticed we are in the 41, not 33. Don't mind me.
