I think it makes a difference where the extra weight is located. I have been told that weight that spins is much, much worse than motionless weight. So you want light rims, light crankset, light clipless pedals, etc. But your bidon holder doesn't need to be titanium. Also, I think if the weight is on the body instead of in the frame that would make a difference too. I wish I could believe the numbers because with my bikes from lugged steel I feel much slower than just 6 seconds a pound ;-)</p> I was thinking about the issue of weight and the numbers by the professor from Utah.
