True. Then again, unless there is a giant leap forward in tire technology (you never know with companies trying to improve ranges with electric cars - I don't see it being something coming from the bike industry) there are at least a few locals where reinforced tires and/or inserts are fairly necessary so someone forced to run Tough Casing, or Super Grav, or Double Defense may be still counting a cassette as easy grams?
I'm certainly not an authority on gram counting. I stopped caring about what my bikes weighted ages ago. But certainly, unsprung weight is an interesting talking point.
