and yes...I know how much 120 grams is and it is .26lbs for the weight weenie crowd NOT .25.

Sometimes heavier is better when the performance is better especially after having a brand new keo cleat break off in the front during a climb that was 18% and having a foot fly off the pedal on an up stroke. This was the 2nd ride of a new cleat.


I don't doubt your drive or enjoyment of cycling but I do doubt that .26lb will really matter for a rider of your caliber.

BTW, I seriously doubt you are old enough to call me son.
Nothing will ever really help a rider of my caliber Mr. Rutnick. But it's fun trying.
