banna Posted August 29, 2011 Share Does anyone know if there's a tool somewhere that can calculate the approximate weight of a custom mtbike wheelset if you select certain components e.g. Hope hubs, ZTR flow rims, DT swiss spokes etc etc. I want to have a custom set of wheels built, but I just wanna be sure about the weight before I have it done.

splat Posted August 29, 2011 Share If you know the dimension and weights of your hubs and rims, you can use the DW Swiss Spoke Length Calculator (see link on www.dtswiss.com) to get a good estimate of the wheel's weight. I have seen other weight calculators, but they don't take into consideration the spoke length (which changes if its a radial, 2 cross or 3 cross build).

Wanna build a new AM wheelset, but wanna try to get the weight down from the 2.1kg of my current XT AM set. I think about 1.8kg is probably a good weight for a set that could still take a serious bit of punishment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
