Sorry, I may get blasted for posting this on the 650 thread, but even though I love spending money on new unnecessary bicycle related stuff, I could never come to peace with the idea of converting, let's say, my AWOL to 650. Why? I currently run folding bead 35mm wide paselas (not radavist-favorite, sorry) on wide AWOL standard rims, and this setup is as plush as one would want. Why switch to, let's say, wtb horizons that weight at least 100 grams more than my current tires, with probably same outer wheel diameter? Am I going to save that much weight on rim and spoke length?
