I have not made any significant changes to my bike in some time. Today there are many new component options with significant weight savings. And of course going light comes with a price. But, without getting too technical, are there any basic rules that suggest what a bike weight reduction would mean in time savings over an ironman distance if the bike weight is reduced by 500 grams or 1 pound? Assume that everything is equal (course, wind, body weight, etc) except bike weight.
Surely this has been covered before and please feel free to post the thread link.
