I am waiting on Nimble to put out their new tubular rim that is claimed at about 200 grams...

Is your goal for the claimed weight to be sub 1000g, or the actual weight? We await your report on whether the rims do indeed weigh no more than 250 grams. Based on seller's claimed weight, almost everyone's bike would be a lot lighter than it actually is.xnavalav8r wrote:I found a chinese manufacturer that is selling a 20mm carbon tubular rim with a claimed weight of 230 +/- 20 grams. ... With a decent pair of hubs and some Pillar spokes I should be able to hit the target weight right around the target price.
