*Weight Weenie Alert*
Found some time to lace up my AliExpress Carbon rims... I wanted to build up a lightweight wheelset for my Optic to make it a bit lighter and more sprightly, the factory wheelset are Stans flow S2 which allegedly weigh almost 2200g.
I was a bit surprised at what these came in at, and now also a bit scared. They're CarbonBeam Assymetric, 30mm internal, in the beefed up 130kg rider weight option which gives me a lot of room for cake. Dt350 hubs, CX-ray spokes + brass nipples. The front still needs tensioning, but I've already given the rear a run down a track they have no right going down and happy to report it's still in 1 piece.
Front - 681g + Rear - 802g = 1483g
Also have a Garbaruk cassette waiting to be put on which should drop another 150g in all the right places.
