Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

Do you guys know if a Mavic Open Pro / Formula Hub combination would be considerably lighter than the stock Kilo wheelset?

It depends what you mean by considerably. I'm sure the rims are a good bit lighter and you could go 32 spoke instead of 36, but I can't imagine it would really be noticeable.
