We used a calculator to guestimate around 1600g for the set (without the discs) but I won't know until I get them. The Chris King R45 hubs aren't exactly too light either. I'm running 32 double butted DT spokes per wheel. They'll be sweet but not racer light. I am hoping to keep my bike to around 20 lbs. This is going on a Lynskey Viale frame. This bike is being built to ride on paved trails and casual riding. I'm no long distance rider, I just wanted nice gear.
Please let me know what they weigh when you get them built as I am very curious. Also, post up some photos!
