I'm not climbing many hills, or racing anyone, so I could care less what my components weigh. I want durability and longevity.
Yes, but, there is a bit of difference between a static 1/2 pound of water located low on you frame and 1/2 pound of rotating weight at the outer circumfrance of a rotating gyro . ;-) Even though I'm a clyde, if there is one place I'm going to look for weight savings it's on my wheels, by looking for wheels that are "strong enough" for my unique matrices of durability to performance concerns.
