The major advantage as far as I'm concerned come into play when changing pooched spokes and they eliminate the need to line up the stem whole with the tape, not to mention the fact that they are reusable which is nice... Beyond that, I have them and would buy them again but I could never argue all that effectively for them over tape... Maybe some of you shop dudes could make a better case either for or against?
Man, 20 grams! I'll be flying up the hills in no time! Thanks for the info Matt.
