Good luck with the build. The DRC rims might be interesting if I can get them sent here.
The more I read this evening, the more it says that the rim is where you want to lose weight rather than the hub - which makes sense as it's rotating mass. Therefore Tune hubs seem like vanity/dick measuring to get wheels down to a stupidly low weight without huge additional benefits.
Hopefully disc wheels on road bikes will make a difference there - less material needed in rims.
A DT build or factory wheels are starting to look like the sensible option. I'm leaning towards handbuilt for the ease of sourcing parts etc.

No idea if they'd explode on the first ride but DRC KTC 380's plus some chinese hubs and cx rays, would come in at 1252g for the wheelset, be wide and alu, and only cost 250 before theyre built (I'm planning on building this wheelset for myself). Tune Mig/Mag's would get that down further to about 1200g, but would more than double the cost of the whole wheelset.
