What sort of "especially true" performance benefit do you expect with 158 less grams (taking into account all the other weight that is rotating with the pedals)?
Pardon me for asking but shouldn't it be the reverse: 1 pound off the wheels =2 pounds off the bike? That is the enhanced effect of removing rotating weight.
