The front Novatec front is pretty heavy really. Plus availability forces a 32 spoke front. Which most dont need. for 49 euros you could have a 65g 24 spoke front.
For the rear.Using the lighteight spokes is down to the build. I'm not 100% about putting a lot of tension into them with my limited skills. But assuming they're built well. Then FWIW I agree. Still the weight saving arent as big for the extra expense maybe.
