Enough comic relief, the skewer post was a joke, I am studying for a real estate exam on Thursday and needed to break it up with some ridiculousness. I thought it was over the top enough, at least Zen got it

Out of anywhere on the bike this would seem to be the most important/meaningful place to loose weight. When it is reduced, how much of a reduction is necessary to be noticeable/worth the cash out lay? I mean is 50g noticeable? 100g, 200g? I would think it would have be at least 100g+ to be meaningful. This I guess is part of the benefit of tubulars. Also I guess durability starts becoming an issue as the weight is reduced.
Unfortunately I have been unable to find any specs. on what I am currently using, campy nucleons, so it is hard to know how big of a weight difference there would be between what I have now and what would go on.
The Shimano RS80, with a 380g rim seems like it is a value leader as you can get them from CRC new, shipped for $450ish, when they are in stock.
