On one hand, no one will want the extra cost/weight for a cheap bike. On the other extreme, no one will want the extra weight (even 400g is still 5% added weight on an 8kg bike) on their high-end bikes.

Especially since most of us will encounter such a situation only 0.1% of the time, if ever.

Cycling is risky - we get it - I just hate all the fear-mongering in the name of profit.
