I agree with the acceleration feel. I never liked DH tires for those reasons because acceleration to overcome a steep pitch on a technical climbing trail is lacking. I didn’t say that wheel weight didn’t matter but that it is exaggerated. Certainly tire weight, inserts etc add. I was just trying to make the point that weight doesn’t matter that much.
