why dont you wait a bit, to see what mavic has under their skirts. the new carbone light seems like it could be a winner.
i think the spada stilletto is under 1400 grams
440g rear alex rim
400g front alex rim
184g rear spada stella hub
65g front spada hub
280g 56 spokes (5 grams each)
total 1369 grams
i think those alex rims are a winner.
this rims looks pretty good to me, and its 10grams lighter than the ksyrium sl rim. the front rim is 400 grams.

I was in your position seriously considering buying a lighter set of wheels to replace my Eurus for racing. But after much deliberation have decided not to spend a fortune and instead buy a nice pair of Veloflex Record Kevlar's complete with ultra light inner tubes. Will save quite a bit of rolling weight for very little money
For if life, in the desire for which our essence and existence consists, possessed in itself a positive value and real content, there would be no such thing as boredom: mere existence would fufill and satisfy us.

Mark is building me some 28/32 Wheels with his straight pull max-light hubs with Ambrosio Excellight rims and Sapim Race spokes for the city, and I'm going to run the Spada Route Carbonio Aero Tubs outside the city. Back to 12.7lbs with the light wheels!
