What do you suggest as my upgrade path? The Schwalbe marathon 700 x 28C is 310 grams, a Forte Strada is 368 grams so the pair would only save 116 grams. I just weighed my tube and it was 124 grams vs Schwalbe AV 15 at 105, so 38 grams per pair (using the alternative AV17 would cost me 50 grams).
So the grand total is 154 grams. It seems like a mid-range wheelset would save three or more times that weight for not that much more money.
