AdamR28 Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 My new front wheel (at unbuilt stage)... Thought I needed to add some pimpness and save some weight, hehe. Try-All 'H' 100 disc hub, White Trialtech spokes, Black alloy Halo nipples and a Monty 221 Kamel front rim: Doesn't really mean much as just a number... so here's a front 20" Echo rim: Ads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoNnY__Mc Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 Kinell thats lite You reckon you could save even more weight my drilling the sidewalls?? What tire, tube, rimtape and fun bolts will you be using?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamR28 Posted June 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 ffs, i need to get some of that shit That's right... really light dual disc mods for the win eh? You reckon you could save even more weight my drilling the sidewalls?? What tire, tube, rimtape and fun bolts will you be using?? I could but... it would be like 10g, I can't be arsed, and I wanna keep the bike fully un-modded. Will be a Try-All tyre, normal 20" tube, clear parcel tape rim tape and Ti axle bolts (straight off my bike as it is now). Might look into a silly light front tube as well... Don't want some crappy BMX tyre as grip is important IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zordon Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 Hey Adam, could you specify the weights of the rim and spokes separately? Would like to see, where I can save some more grams. My new front wheel is Dob (335g) + Dt Champion spokes (152g) + Dartmoor alu nipples (10g) + Chosen hub (80g)=577g. I thought it was already a superlight wheel. Apparently I was wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex-Mitchinson Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 (edited) "Chosen" hub? One of these things http://www.chosen-hubs.com/pro-detail.php?...d=48&id=253 That's pretty light, not sure what my front wheel is, shouldn't be too much more. Dob rim 318g, Neon hub 150g, and standard Mutiny spokes/nipples. Around 600g's full weight I'm thinking?

It's another hub model - A1266B: http://allegro.pl/item361234391_chosen_a12...rzod_szosa.html you picked heavy spokes, 2mm no need for front wheel The problem is Dt Swiss does not make lighter spokes for 20' wheels. They start from 200mm. I need 180mm Edited June 11, 2008 by Zordon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adrian Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 the echo rim would beat the crap outa that wheel in a fight you should just get a carbon race hub lol like 10 alu blade spokes and your sorted.. carbon quick release.... just for comps though lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
