Yep another weight issue again !
Am in a spot of bother
Bought some Mavic x517 Sup rims on XT M737 hubs
And they weigh a ton! Especially the rear wheel, even with a lighter cassette and very light Michelin wildracer advanced 2.0 tyres.
Really annoyed.
They (along with the marzocchi z3 - separate issue) make the poor bike frame weigh quite a bit.
I'm going to change the forks for some Magura Quake Air or SIDS but Its the wheels.
Can anyone recommend a lightweight wheelset that I could get here on retrobike for under £100?? Something substantially lighter than whAt I have ?
And if there Are any sellers??
