Chill down... I think you misread my post, so take a breath and do it again.RussellS wrote: For the very simple reason that a deeper rear wheel is FASTER than a shallower rear wheel.
We all know a deeper wheel is faster.
I know some people worship light weight.
So... you are in weightweenies for what?
And anyone with any brains at all, will take a lighter part if it doesn`t sacrifice aero (hint: read my first post again)But anyone with any brains at all, will happily sacrifice weight to get more speed.
Wrong. If YOU are faster than me, you win. If I am faster than you, I win. The bike would probably not change thatIf my 100 pound bike is faster than your 10 pound bike, then I WIN.
Weight, and aero too, is irrelevant. All that matters is speed. How you get faster is irrelevant.

No, and I don't care what they care. Do you?Do you really think pros care how much their bike weighs?
Nothing guarantees you are the first across the line. Their best shot is to train harder, and use the best equipment they can.They would happily ride grandmas 3 speed bike with a basket on front if it guarantees they are first across the line every day of the Tour, Giro, and Vuelta.
Any of them would probably beat me (and you) regardless of bike... or notThey would laugh at you for your light weight BS if they won every day.
Seriously... you are in weightweenies for what?
