Sad but true.

You've all hear the old rule about taking a pound from a race car.......take an ouce from sixteen places. I know a lot of guys who literally do this with touring bikes! Heck, a couple of new bolts for my friends water bottle saved him a couple of ounces and only cost about 15 bucks.
But honestly, first off, how about looking for the lightest spare and jack. A super light aluminum wheel and smaller jack (aluminum?) is going to save you a bunch AND you get to have a spare.
