• Which hubs/spokes/rims would be a good way to go to have a light (1300-1400g) pair of rim brake wheels built up?

    Edit - alu clinchers.

    I'm not desperate to go tubeless and nor am I bothered about going particularly wide, partly because the clearance between my stays isn't very generous - there's only about 3mm either side of a 23mm tyre on a Ksyrium as it is.

    Budget is £500-600.

  • I've been looking at this for sometime. I'm after super light clinchers that I can race hill climbs on but also take to Majorca etc and not melt on the descents, so no carbon clinchers.

    Conclusion being: Ryde Pulse Spring, CX-Ray, Bitex. The very cheapest I've found them is built by a German wheel builder. They also ship internationally. Google does a good job of translating their site. They also do a set with CN424 spokes for even cheaper in the "special offers" section. If you're really not bothered about width then they do these too.

  • Ahhhh - thanks. Looks right up mein strasse.

    I trust the Germans to make a good of wheels.
