nicolasp1405 Posted December 23, 2015 Report Share Posted December 23, 2015 (edited) So I was thinking on buying these new SPANK 24" Rims and I was wondering if saving about 190g from having these (473g) instead of the Inspired Rims (664g) would actually noticable? I was also thinking about getting those Light Weight Tubes. I'd probably get some light new spokes aswell. So I know that the most noticable place for loosing weight on a bike is the wheel but will aprox. 220g saved per wheels be noticable and worth the change? Also to mention I will have to unbuild my beloved arcade wheelset laced by Mister C. himself...

JJ Leigh Posted December 23, 2015 Report Share Posted December 23, 2015 I noticed the difference from standard tubes to those jitsie tubes on their own, let alone rims! You'll notice a difference with rims bud Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greetings Posted December 23, 2015 Report Share Posted December 23, 2015 Wheels are usually the easiest way to get the bike lighter. 220g per wheel should be noticeable. You might want to consider 1.8mm butted/plain spokes (DT Competition for instance) which will help save an extra 20-30g per wheel. Don't go for anything radical like 1.6mm or 1.5mm spokes as the wheel will lose a lot of stiffness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
