it might have been the bearings used. mine are 32h and the rear was 200g flat too...
Hi there,
First of all, nice bike, congrats
Can you tell us what kind of problem did you had with your first set of wheels?
I'm thinking of lacing a bor xmd333 up with an extralite Hyper JF 15mm on the front, and I'd like to know what kind of problems did you had with your wheels.
I'm just going for such a light hub on the front, I don't like very light hubs on the rear, mainly because of the freewheel that tend to be fragile.
Cheers

The fork itself is ok. But it came with a slightly off-size steertube dimension and crown race setting dimension. When sandpapered it works ok though! It's actually a little bit flexy even for me, so heavier riders should stay away.
It was not a stupid project, it did what it was supposed to do (bring me superfast over a mountain). Now I'm making it more off-road friendly with knobby tires and suspension fork.
