Ti everything as stated with light tires will make any "heavy" wheel feel 2x lighter. Gotta have dough for all ti hardware though.

Weight matters a lot. Get two bikes that are identical besides the wheelset. Give one a beefy front hub, a KHE coaster, brass nipples, and Ribcages. Give the other Tree hubs or something light like that, aluminum nipples, and Birdcages. The latter will feel much better. It'll accelerate faster and feel easier to maneuver.

The weight of a hub has very little effect on gyroscopic forces. Your rim/tire combo is what really matters. tires is where it is easy to shed a lot of ounce for fairly cheap.

Aluminum nipple are not worth the loss in strength. Those stupid things strip too easily. Stick with brass.

This. Rotating weight is HUGE.
I had Odyssey Paths and my bike was sluggish and slow, got Demolition Momentums, and it was easier to do everything.
