Oh, and I never try to "shed weight"...
I don't believe in it until I "shed" about 20 lbs off of my own frame first. The wheelset are the only element where I'll pay a small premium -- to offset the angular momentum... (hmm, I'm a physics teacher [at heart] and I can't recall if that is the right concept I just threw out there!)
(rotational inertia? ... hmmmmmmmmm)
