Pros and cons of spoke count
How much do spokes weigh?
It would seem to me that all the weight savings is to be had in the rims and the hubs....How much lighter is a 16 spoke wheel going to be compared to a 32 spoke wheel?
I think it would probably be wiser to look for weight savings elsewhere other than the wheels. THese days with carbon fiber frames we should n't have to resort to reidculously low spoke counts to make the 15 pound weight limit.
