Well, it's one of these things where the ultimate quality gives you this 
reassuring feeling of owning something great, a source of joy, that 
objectively is just way too expensive for what it delivers in terms of 
real-world performance. Pressurising your tires properly gives a lot 
more speed than 1kg less weight...

Bye
