Cheers jono,
I do like crashing into people (and things) so have pretty beefy wheels (48 spoke, deep section rims marathon pluses).... But I find I don't crash that much anymore (partially out of getting better, but probably mostly just because I'm trying to play the ball more)... The two wheels together are almost 4kg. With race tyres, lower spoke count (and maybe lighter spokes) and slightly lighter rims I recon I could get down to 500g each.
By your calculations that would be the same as me loosing 30kg from my gut! Imagine how awesome I could be if I did both!
