Light weight rims

Thinking of making the bike wheels a little lighter so what AM rims would people suggest?

I'd suggest buying a lighter bike

You have plenty of spare bikes now you can just give one away to me

Carbon rims are the way forward.

Can get you a good price on a scandium hardtail, 1160g for the frame and headset

Jim,

Going to have to borrow your scales foe a weighing session !

As for lightweight AM rims, I'm looking at Pacenti tl28 only 360 grams and compairable to Stans flows,

Is this your single speed?

May be purchasing a kona frame if the other buyer falls through.

No, singlespeed is staying!!!!

Its a Kona scandium hardtail that I've not got round to building into a lightweight, and most likely never will now.

I'll see till Miss Dando gets back to me about the Kona frame she had for sale if that falls through I may be interested and leave the fancy carbon wheels for the time being

Damn quotation marks

i fancy some rim action too tho, maybe a post xmas present to myself.

What three you going to run on your lightweight rims? Only ask as if your trying to save a few grams you don't want heavy tyres
