See my post above with picture. Those 55mm came to 1110g. Coach sold his Reynolds RZRs and bought a pair and raced on them this weekend.

How did you get the 55mm down to 1110g?
On the Mercury site the M5 is 1366g and the S5 is 1590g

I went with Extralite hubs and I think those rims vary by 20 g or so.

Also their weight may include their fairly light steel skewers. We used KCNC Ti super light things. Recently have gone back to steel.
