I totally agree weight is an issue, and rotational mass at the rim is where it counts if weight matters--
but I don't really care about weight as long as it isn't an old steel rim. I ride in the rain and about 4 times a week on the rollers--my daily commuter for most weather is an old Bridgestone XO-1 (not fixed). For all
intents and purposes a little more rotational weight won't matter to me--I ain't racing anyone.
