there may be some difference between
rotating weight and non-rotating.

i e, wheels may matter more because they accelerate differently.

The rule of thumb that I've been told goes, "an ounce off the wheels
equals a pound off the frame."



other than that, it should all be 'a pound is a pound'.

at least 1 lb more anywhere is a lb you have to move up a hill, and
accelerate from a stop.

no wait, i thought of another kind of weight - sprung [you]
vs unsprung [the bike].

if you get off the saddle for bumps, the bike will
'hit harder' if it;s heavier.

if you don;t get up, it;s all unsprung.
