Like others said it's cheaper to drop a few pounds on the person than it is on the bike....but if you were so inclined to spend a little money you could upgrade the wheels. Then again, it might be more trouble than it's worth. If you get used to riding a heavy bike up hills, when you upgrade to a lighter bike it will feel awesome. How much does the rack weigh? If you don't use it, you should lose it.
