• Yeah, that's what makes e.g. Aksiums so unappealing. Just don't have time to wait for postage from China for hubs etc. But sod it, maybe I'll just find the best bits I can that will arrive in time to build some.

    @hippy okay, everyone knows how low my standards are now - I mean lightweight in comparison. My lightest bike is probably my Kona Sutra so that ought to tell you something.

    For reference I bought this - should have taken the wheels with it

  • Just got around to doing this, 200 g off each wheel is worth 15 s on a 10 km, 10% climb at 275 W. Balls.

    If you're a weakling like me though at 100 W it's 40 s.

    (disclaimer: I have no idea what power I do)
