The Ritchey wheels are 2000g.. these are not lightish wheels. The velomine wheels are going to weigh basically the same and have the same stiffness. All the wheels we are discussing have high flange bolt-on track hubs, high spoke counts, straight gauge spokes, and cheap rims. They are all going to be heavy.
If you want light wheels, get Kinlin rims, highly butted spokes, and a front road hub.
