These for a 300 gram savings and €1700 more + €600 more for ceramic bearings, if desired.
Those cost $1104 on sale right now and $1300 normally.
Some btlos 35mm deep, 19mm internal, 26 external extralight carbon rim brake rims(so basically identical dims to the hunt rim) with bitex hubs, Pilar steel aero spokes, and brass nipples weight 1310 grams and cost $657 shipped to your door.
Same price and 1284 grams if you go with aluminum nipples.
Best of all, you can choose between spoke holes or no holes in the rim bed.
$450 less for same weight or even less. Handbuilt and easily replaced spokes if ever needed too.
Your post I am partially quoting was very thorough.
