I have a wheelset with Mavic G4 single wall clinchers that's fairly light...not lightweight tubular light but still light.

HG can be lighter if your using a cassette with an alloy carrier. Some of the higher end HG cassettes had minor drillium on the cogs. I haven't weighed anything lately but like everything else there's overlap.
