Why don't people just get light hubs and rebuild their wheels?

IE. you can buy Token track hubs for pretty cheap(~400g compared to 600g or whatever you're running stock) then lace them with DT Revolution.

You instantly drop up to 500 grams. If you're running shallow rims they're AT MOST 500 grams per rim(veeps are ~520g). 1000 + 400 + 300 = 1700. At the HEAVIEST.

Total cost is pretty cheap(~$150?) and you can build them yourself, it's not that hard.
