Both rims are below 160g. 28g front hub, <100g rear. 15g of nipple, 97g of Ti spokes. 110g Tufo tubs. 78g casette.
Obviously awful to ride but that's not really the point. Bike is 3.2kg

Bike is 3.2kg
that's insane. My cat weighs more.

Wow, about 560g for the wheelset? That must be pushing some kind of record. Lightest prebuilts I found with a quick search were about 750g, with steel spokes. And even the ones on this 2.7kg bike (https://www.redbull.com/gb-en/check-out-the-worlds-lightest-custom-road-bike) are 580g.

How on earth are those wheels under 900g complete?
Seriously, how does it break down in approximate terms? I was vaguely aware you could get wheels down to about 1kg, but not including tyres or cassette, which are surely at least 450g together?
