Light c&v wheel sets
 

Hi,

this is, what i am trying to build at the moment:

OMAS hub set with titanium axles. Front wheel: 170g, rear wheel: 245g

Nisi M-20 rims, each rim: 217,5g (for real)

Continental tubular tyres, each tire: 167g

72 rim washers: 58g

72 alloy nippels: 36g

Front wheel spokes Sapim Laser DD: 159g

Rear wheel spokes left site Sapim Laser DD, drive site Sapim Race, together: 180g

Everest alloy freewheel: 178g

Ready to go front wheel including tire & glue: 756-760g

Ready to go rear wheel including tire, glue & freewheel: 1035-1040g

Anybody is trying/tried/build something familiar?

Pictures will follow!

Funny you post this right about the time I just purchased two separate vintage tubular wheelsets! And they both are centered around OMAS hubsets with TI axles; what are the chances?

Don't have any way to weigh them accurately out here, but I suppose I could do some Interwebz sleuthing and get weights for them at the component level. Not that I want to spend all that time - I'd rather get out and enjoy them :)

Looking forward to the pics.

They don't have a good scale on DG?

Measurement scale in DG is in coconuts....so, fractions of coconuts gets hard to accurately measure! :)

I usually use mavic box rims, GL330 & GP4's. If I want a lighter response I lower the spoke count. That said, I have a set of Bora's on one of my steel frames & they feel amazing under it! I'm all for a good set of wheels on a steel frame, can't wait to see!

I never weighed them or intended for them to be light wheight stuff but some of the wheels I had built few years ago seemed pretty light, especially with some of the off the shelf wheels in roughly the same price point.

STX 7spd hubs, DT spokes w/ brass nipples and some type of FIR or ambrosia tubular.
