I'm putting together my own blng wheels.
I found some nice looking 48mm OEM carbon rims. Not as cheap as the standard EBay jobbies, but if the discription holds true, they should be really nice. Just ordered them, as well as some lovely Tune hubs. Going with internal nipples and triplet rear lacing so will need to do some serious number crunching before ordering some CX-ray spokes. Should come in at arond 1.3 Kg the pair.
Could have gone lighter, but only by using uber weight weenie hubs with teeny weenie bearings, and/or Ti spokes (very expensive).
