How many people actually do an apples to apples comparison of the effect of an extra pound of weight applied to the rims vs the bike frame?
Usually, when people notice a difference in wheel weights it is from a parking lot test accelerating from 0 to 20MPH. In a real world scenario, like starting a sprint at 30MPH, the difference is negligible.
