Hi everyone,

New here and a complete novice to bike maintenance / modifications. Recently got my hands on a used Helix after eying it for a long time.

I am looking for some easy ways to cut weight. One of which is changing the wheelset and tires. On Helix's website, there are recommendations for this set of rims and tires that can be ran tubeless. I'd also love to get a set of tires that has lower rolling resistance.

As far as I can see, this would mean I'd also have to purchase spokes, front and rear hubs to have this wheelset built (or can i use the same front and rear hub?)...I would also need to make some adjustments to run those tires tubeless.

All of this require a bike shop to build from the grounds up.

I am wondering if there are pre made wheelsets that are similar in weight which would make this weight cut process easier?

Thanks all.
