Believe me, an old, tired, discouraged rider climbing a steepish, longish hill on an 18 lb bike with light wheels is going to feel that things are very different compared to when said old, tired, discouraged rider grinds up the same hill (in the heat, against the wind) on a 37 lb bike with wheels made from 800 gram rims and 800 gram tires!
Hell, even Jan Heine looks for ways to save weight. Patrick "it's not (all) about the rider" Moore who would love a 16 lb fixie gofast. (Only 2 lb away !!)
