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?

Spokes and nipples I just guessed at from the Pillar website. But no prices so I don't know if I was looking at something too expensive.

Purely that those Pacenti rims are super cheap on PlanetX at the moment. I'm thinking CL25 instead of TL28 though; 25g lighter each and a more suitable rim width for what I want, only £5 more.

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?
