Well I guess the way to go would have been to use Campy low flange which weigh in at about 488 grams a pair, whereas the Phils weigh about 625g a pair. He could have saved a whopping 137 grams! That works out to almost 1/3 of a pound!(Boy does that seem silly. Why do people really care about this crap?)

While looking into this I noticed that the carbon Suzue hub is not as light as you might think. They weigh 574 grams a pair.
