I have a fun project in the works, using these hubs:

Hoping to end up a bit under 1100g, using rims with 24mm internal width.

Weight drops from 11.44kg to 11.12kg. Rotors are KCNC Razor 180/160 and XTR 11-36T 10spd cassette.

Could drop a bit more weight by losing the power meter and going with Schwalbe TLR tyres (non-Snake Skin) to get down to about 10.7kg. Happy with low 11's though (including pedals).
