Lightweight wheel set

The Mavic Open Pro rim is fairly light (at approx 430 grams) and readily available, although I hear grumbles about recently quality levels, and you'd be hard pressed to find a clincher rim that is much lighter than that.

If you'd rather avoid poor quality Open Pros buy them NOS from campyoldy.co.uk, Nigel has various models for £70 or £75 a pair.
