Plus it's not the first time Lee has disobeyed Guy's orders, as he tried to use the Primary Lotus on Sasuke before. So, I'm quite sure, Lee could have used his full natural speed with the weights off against Neji. And as Lee said, he hoped Gates would be enough to beat Neji, meaning, that even if he didn't take off the weights when fighting Neji, that Lee suspected that Neji will still beat him.
