If you're managing a steady speed round the track and not going up and down the banking

There's an interesting thing here for more advanced maths illustration. Leaving the inner tubes aside, because they are nothing like a simple change of mass, let's say the initial sample bike comes in at 6.75kg. To pass scrutineering, you buy a 50g slug of Tungsten and glue it inside one of the frame tubes. On a pursuit bike, where do you glue it to maximise the benefit?

I can bullshit rationales for a number of locations, but can't decide what the magnitudes of the effects would be. Purely on the ∆h of the mass I'm going to guess at the rear dropout?

The magnitude will be small whatever you do.
I'll hold off on giving my opinion just in case anybody else feels like weighing in with ideas.
