Yes the wheels originally had the standard Novatecs but they weren't 11 speed compatible. I think I got the SLs from a wheel builder out in wales (for some reason I can't find the link). novatec claim that the SL set is about 80g which that achieve by drilling an extra set of holes in the spoke flanges. Not exactly what you would call aero, but it does the job!

My 56mm deep, 25mm wide Wheels are sub 1300g. Granted they are tubulars. But most of the weight is saved With expensive hubs and spokes. The hubs are on their second pair of rims, and I was planning to use them for a move to 60mm deep, and even wider, rims. So its not a terrible Investment. But a hundred grams at the hubs isnt much of a performance gain for the cost of Tune hubs.
