So I've been doing some research and figured surly hubs (at least in the rear w/ QR not solid axle) w/ velocity aerohead rims, 32 in the rear and 28 up front, w/ brass nipples and double-butted spokes would be the cheapest lightest wheels I could probably build.

But I was thinking, how different is that setup, really, from the standard iro wheels? How much weight could I really expect to save over an iro set? Any educated guesses? Or suggestions?

fyi- I want to race the wheels I make so I'm trying to get them as light as I can without spending too much $$.
