Hi DJ

 

I can put together a wheelset with hubs, 1.6Kg for just under 16K.

 

just looking what the other options are.

I've got my eyes on a set of imported Light-bicycle 24mm inner width / 30mm outer width rims, UD carbon matte finish, 390g per rim. 28 holes perhaps? Or maybe the more traditional 32 holes.

 

Built up with DT revolution / Sapim laser spokes, alloy anodized nips and light-ish hubs, perhaps DT 240's if I could afford them, or maybe 350's with the 36 tooth freehub upgrade. Many, many hub options.

 

EDIT: The new Pyga hubs seem an excellent blend of performance, weight, durability (to be tested) and price. I'd have a look at them, if you're building.

What are all the parts on your list?

 

Hope hubs + Pyga rims + spokes, nipples & build = About R15 550.00

Spokes & labour are about R1000 per wheel

Hubs are R3750 at CWC

Marathon carbon rims are about R4900 each

 

That will be a pretty solid build.

I have no idea what they will weigh though

 

1st Edit: 1610g with the Pyga 398 hubset, 1.8/2.0 Pillar spokes and Brass nipples.

ye... prob just need to break it down to the dif parts and their costs.

 

Sounds like a R15500/R16000 is a decent price for a Carbon Wheelset anyhow.
