Who needs a parking brake when you can shoulder it against a rock anyway? :P

Lug nuts don't do much, but if you change the hub material into something space age your wallet will be so much lighter you'd feel it at the pump.

Seriously, has anybody ever looked into the weight of the hub etc?
Why bolt that carbomagnesium rim on a pig iron hub?
Any other way to reduce weight on the hubs, or am I, err.... boring?

For confirmation go to people just like you.
For education go to people unlike yourself.
