Not too much weight at all, just unneeded and another delay when repairing a flat. Also, ever get a new tube where the nut was cross threaded right from the factory? I did and discovered it while changing a flat on a dark cold morning. Fortunately I had another tube with me but I've always discarded the nuts since then.
