Is a bicycle wheel really heavier when it is spinning?

Wednesday, March 31st, 2010 at 7:18 pm

I read an article that said if you really want to cut down a bikes weight to use light rims and light tires, because shen the wheel goes around it creates a ton of centrifugal force. But wouldn't this force push up just as hard as it pushed down?

Is it harder to move from side to side if it has more mass?

I want to buy an individual wheel that can spin on it's axle like this - http://video.google.ca/videosearch?hl=en&source=hp&q=bicycle%20wheel&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&tab=wv#hl=en&source=hp&q=bicycle+wheel&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&tab=wv&start=10
