    I think in a few years rim brakes and cable gears will disappear and road tires will be tubeless and wider. I would not therefore put any big investment into a fancy wheelset, groupset, frame or bike that does not conform to this as in a few short years you will be behind the technology curve.

    Hi Paul I was very lucky, these rims were only released in May this year and only 2 sets were brought into SA, the day they landed the bike shop (Reform Cycling in Hillcrest Durban) that sourced all my parts was onto the agent and manged to secure me 1 set. Couple things that make the new 303 really special 25mm internal width (21mm previous) 1.3kg (300g lighter than the previous) Zipp now give a lifetime replacement guarantee for the first buyer of the wheels, if you crack a rim for any reason whatsoever while riding the bike they will replace it.

    The mix of 42 in front with 10-52 at the back gives quite a good range. If you had a 11-32 at the back you may be in a bit of trouble on the climbs with a 42. Not that I am an expert but that is just my opnion

    So my math didnt add up... 7.69kg before trimming the fork

    So did not get the weight I was looking for - was aiming for 7.5 gravel build but got 7.850kg full build including, bottle cages, pedals and Garmin mount. With 30mm road tyres the weight will reduce by 300g so I will be at 7.55kg which is not superlight, but then it is a gravel bike.. Some highlights - THM crank set 305g, Berk Saddle 103g Tune Bottle cages 21g for both, Zipp 303 1.39kg incl tape & valves.
