Shanghaied - I had thought about that, but everyone keeps harping on about weight on the outside of wheel affecting acceleration, blar, blar, blar...
I am building this bike as I want something thats gonna be bloody quick off the lights, so I don't spend half my time getting upto speed.
But, as you say, it is only 83g, and I have the peace of mind knowing its Hope.
I just always obsess!
Wanna be sure I get the best I can for what I use it for.
Just wish I wasn't such a lard arse really as all the nice light weights are for XC whippets weighing half what I do. :P
Thanks for info on PCDs, will check further.
