My SA weight included axle nuts, the Alfine weight didn't include a QR, that's another 60gm.
Looks the the SA is 15gms heavier....
What's the flange height on the Alfine dynohub? If it's shorter than the difference in spoke lengths could make the SA setup lighter. Also what about the pads? I bet it's not included in the caliper weight.
I know I'm splitting hairs, but 15 grams is what split hairs weigh.
Although there is a big difference in weight between your forks. There's only 100g difference between the disc and nondisc Nashbar carbon forks.

Drool. Can't beat the look of the chrome fork with the fat chrome hub.
