Here you see both my favourite bikes in their summer dress. It always feels good to shave of the extra weight of the winter dress. They're both equipped with tubular tires from Tufo. I haven't cared to have them on the scale yet, but I think the CX is a good pound lighter compared to last year.

Everyday Road Wheel Set
These are to be my everyday set of road wheels. Build up around Velocity Escape tubular rims and White Industries LTA (Ti) hubs. Laced up with oval spokes.
Weight: 1440 grams (scaled)
Tune / Mavic Reflex / Aero spokes II
Just figured I'll give you a view of the finished build
Real weight is 1402g (scaled). 12g more than estimated

That's what my next build's gonna be. Here's a little teas of the hubs. It is to be my every day pair of wheels with no weight limit, stiff enough for some serious sprints and estimated to hit the scale at 1390 grams. Not too bad for a strong 32 spoked front and rear set of wheels. And the price? Ha ha. I never talk about price, but I can say it's below half the price of what an online store would charge and waaay cheaper than any LBS.......... As all my builds are ;)
Pré view of my new set of wheels
Turned out to be 4 grams heavier than estimated, but 516 grams' still pretty light for a 24 spoked wheel. Rear wheel hit the scale at 750 grams sharp. Leaves a total for the set at 1266 grams. 1 gram less than estimatet !!
