Have to agree with you there. Specialized bikes tend to come with heavy wheels. On the plus side they tend to suck up potholes if set up right.
I have a 2008 Specialized Tricross Singlespeed that shipped with Alex ACE19 rims. When I swapped them out for Mavic Open Pro with Halo track hubs the difference was amazing. Even a low end wheel upgrade feels like a massive drop in weight on the cheaper Specialized bikes.
