I've been planning to upgrade some parts of my bike and wondering whether there is an accepted £ per gram figure that would be used to determine if buying something purely for weight savings is worth doing. According to my calculation on average it would be something like £0.25 per 1 g. This figure is based on the parts that I wish to upgrade. Is that realistic?
I understand all this is very relative and some people would pay anything to save a few grams. Also some parts such as wheels and tyres may improve the ride more than others so the reason to upgrade. Is that right? For example, would a £30 more expensive and 100 grams lighter wheels be better?
