really? you're gonna pay up to $200 to save maybe 1/4 ounce? seems more like bragging
rights......ooh, lookie me, i gots titanium valve caps! must be better uses for that cash.
$50 spent on a higher-quality tent or cookset or rims or tires would save half a pound.
heck, you could save as much weight with just 50 cents worth of sandpaper!
just grind the paint off your aluminum frame! quarter ounce saved right there!
