Can someone explain to me why 25/9 gearing is not making the jump onto race bikes?

Also, 40g tubes are unbelievably light, but just curious if you could use a Stans NoTubes kit instead and how would the weight compare?

Also the Tioga sspec tires are an awesome choice but the 1.75 is actually a lot taller than a normal 1.75 in another brand. If I was building this I would be using the 1.6 as its very close to a standard 1.75 and a lot lighter. In reality to save as much weight as possible you should run 1.6 front and rear.
