I wonder how well is the braking on a set of lightweight? I have only been to two UCI event and have yet to see the weight in process. I was a participant in one (track) and the weight in was never to be. Just if it looks light then they will request a weight but if not that no need.

I don't see why this setup would make for poor braking though. I doubt there was weigh in happening. I wasn't in the elite race though so I wouldn't know.
