Front 925g (claimed) on planet x page VS 1100 on my very very crappy scales. Say 175 grams where does it come from?
weight of hubs planet x 208 (assuming novatec sl) VS mine 220 grams
(extra 12 for me) leaves 153
32 spokes on planet x (assuming 191 grams) VS 28 aero spokes on mine (141 and that's assuming they're heavy ones of 5 g) that should leave me in the lead... maybe they exclude the nuts?
Something here ain't right... I'll borrow a proper set of scales as this doesn't add up :)
I ended up using an old spoke to hold the nipples as these disappear very easily in the rim.
