aluminum nipples

Bunny hopping, and any trick that derives from that must be easier with a lighter bike, but rotating weight on a slow moving, small wheeled bike... I don't buy it.

I don't think I'm being clear with my issues with tire/wheel weight. I completely agree that just dropping in, or cranking down the street, I don't notice it.
If I'm riding slow, and like tapletop off a few stairs or somethingz I don't notice it.
When I'm hauling ass, and the wheels get a lot of angular momentum, motowhips, tabletops and any sort of rotation( that's about the limit of my skill set) feel really really sluggish with the heavier tires.
If I didn't suck, I might not notice. If I didn't know shit about gyroscopes or angular momentum, I would write it off to being too high or sleepy or something. However, it does drive me batshit. Not batshit enough to fight alloy nipples again, but enought to not run those tires.

It has to do with rotational weight. Now go fuck off.

What are you even on about the g sport nipples are easier to tighten than the shitty ones you normally use, which I clearly stated many days ago.
Suck today's dick though right
