I am always concerned about the weight, as my suitcase weighs 7.5 kg empty, the only suitcase ever to survive more that 250,000 SIH miles (Suitcase In Hold).
In general, the answer depends on the airline checking you in---the airline flying the first flight on each segment of the journey will define the rules. Also, whether you are subject to the weight or piece rules depends on where you're flying.
