You can get those hubs for a bit cheaper, ~£135 i think. Spokes and nipples wont be that light unless youre using cx rays. I used those hubs, 420g rims and ACI Alpina (double butted) spokes and it came to just under 1700g all in.
Again, I wouldnt worry about weight too much. Do you have a valid reason to use 28h over 32h?
-
if you want spokes to be the same length that not possible for the front but is for the rear. you need to use a novatec D772 or D792 hub in 32H drilling.

Bear in mind that Pacenti TL-28 is prone to cracking just like the rest of the Pacentis of the First generation.

Okay, ignore that stuff about matching spoke lengths. Can someone eyeball this and tell me if it's stupid?

It'd for a gravel/road wheelset and I'm about 80kg. I'm not too worried about low spoke counts as I've been touring on 18-spoke wheels before and never had any problems - something to do with my riding style perhaps. I have a set of 36h, 600g-rim monsters for heavier duty stuff. I would build them myself but maybe have them checked over by LBS as I've only ever built one wheel before.
Can I do better OTP?
