The stem would not be complete without the gorgeous EXTRALITE CH-01 Computer Holder in carbon fibre.

These are probably screwed in before carbon bonding or with a minuscule Г-shaped wrench.

Not in my experience, I bought a set that was more than 100g overweight, and a friend had the same issue. I contacted them and was told this was normal.

So basically, if you buy from them add 100 - 150g to their claimed weights.

I loved this part of the reply - "Hi Marin, I have weighed a few sets and they are all coming in at roughly the same weight as the wheels you have there. Sorry I don’t have any lighter ones!"

Agree. Why would they even change that margeting info if everyone accept that higher false weight becouse it's "normal". Just return it and make them pay return cost becouse given info is not right.

Have you looked at JRA (Just Riding Along), I’ve just been riding a set of aluminium disc brake wheels, weighed in a 1425 as quoted on their website although they do now quote a slightly higher weight -Map wheelset – aluminium rims with Centre-Lock straight-pull 24 hole hubs, CX-Ray spokes and aluminium nipples 1447g / £430
