I am always amazed at the weight saving extremes one will go to then throw
away the gains. Save a couple grains by using Titanium screws for
attaching water bottle cages, chain rings etc. Risk injury by using
extremely light front end components where a failure will likely result in
catastrophic accidents then wear a 1/4 pound of gold on your neck which
flaps you in the face when working hard.
What happened to commonsense?

I do think bicycle parts makers are out of control. I mean, stems breaking
in the TdF in normal use? All this to save an ounce or two.
Commonsense? I think it is lost.
