Why Rotating Wheel Weight Doesn't Matter: A Real World Cycling Experiment

Rotating weight on a bike's wheels, does it actually matter? Last year we made a video looking into the science behind heavy and light wheels for cycling, and it caused a bit of disagreement. Lots of fellow cyclists will tell you that you need lighter wheels because rotating weight is worth more than the static weight of the rest of your road bike. Ollie has come up with a simple real world test to see whether that is really the case.
