Just finished building my new wheels and glueing some tires, thought I might share with you!
I use the term light-weight "lightly" (pun intended)
They are fairly light for a budget set.
Specs;
Front wheel:
Velocity Escape Tubular rim 20h 385g (Claimed 390g)
American Classic Micro 58 20h hub (Decals Removed) 57g (Claimed 58g)
DT Swiss Champion 2.0/1.8/2.0 DB Black spokes
DT Swiss 12mm Alloy nipples
Rear wheel:
Velocity Escape Tubular Rim 24h 394g (Claimed 390g)
American Classic Track hub 24h (Decals removed) 186g (Claimed 180)
DT Swiss Champion 2.0/1.8/2.0 DB Black spokes
DT Swiss 12mm Alloy nipples
Total weight w/o QR and track bolts;
1323g
I was surprised at how straight these rims laced up keeping in mind that they are not very expensive.
I am moving from a ~1900 gram set of clinchers, so it took about 1.2 pounds of my total bike weight.
Tires are Vittoria Rally's, and they are actually much rounder and straighter than I expected.
This is my first set of tubulars, so before any comments are made about my tire choice (@fdegrove), I plan on installing some Vittoria CX's soon.
(Trust me, if I could afford Dugast tires I would ride them)
Tires glued with Vittoria Mastik’one.
Special thanks to fdegrove and all the others with the useful information in the glueing tubular thread.
