If you check the Mavics at http://weightweenies.starbike.com/li...ype=roadwheels you will see this might not be the first time they made a 'mistake' approaching 100gm. For my purpose (which is my wife's bike) and the price ($135) I don't care. But I know people buy Aksiums and Ksyrium Elites thinking for a few bucks they can drop weight by replacing their OEM shimano wheels and I'm just not sure that's always true.
Those on BT look like 2009 Aksiums which were rated at 1855g.
Either way, $135. is a steal for better than CXP22 Mavics.
