High end bicycle equipment has weight specs in grams.

It's always hillarious to me to see boomers on expensive bikes that aim to save every gram while they could save 20kg on themselves.

If the point is to burn calories, then shaving weight off your equipment is counterproductive.

But if it makes you want to ride more, then great!
