If you want light, both the Roval CLX 32s and ENVE SES 3.4s are lighter than either. I like my 202 NSWs...they are quite stiff for 32mm deep wheels and they weigh exactly as listed on Zipp’s website with preinstalled tubeless tape and valves.

Ah right, new XXXs on tap...forgot about that.
I purchased a pair of DT Swiss Spline RC28 Mon Chasseral clinchers that weight 1250 grams were on sale for $1700 from Merlin Cycles. Wheels were originally $3000. These wheels are amazing! The hub is an carbon upgraded DT180 ceramic that spins beautifully. As someone who owns Zipp NSW's and Bora Ultras, I can tell you these wheels are as good, if not better.

These wheels look interesting. Can you help me confirm a couple of things? I read two reviews and they came up with different weights. One was 1272g. with rim tape and the other was 1205g with no mentioning of rim tape, either with or without. If you can tell me what yours weighed that would be great, with or without rim tape. The published weight is 1250g and I assumed yours might be different from the published weight. Lastly I see conflicting data on the internal width. Merlin says 16mm but a review said 15mm. If you can confirm the actual internal width that would be awesome. Thanks.Noctiluxx wrote: ↑Mon Feb 26, 2018 2:51 amI purchased a pair of DT Swiss Spline RC28 Mon Chasseral clinchers that weight 1250 grams were on sale for $1700 from Merlin Cycles.

They were about 1270 something with rim tape already installed. Yeah the wheels are not wide. Don't know the exact width but I was told by DT 23mm tires would be preferred. These wheels with 23mm Michelin Power Comp are incredible! BTW braking with EE calipers with Black Prince pads is the best Ive experienced from a carbon wheel.pdlpsher1 wrote: ↑Mon Feb 26, 2018 4:13 amThese wheels look interesting.

PS: forgot to mention these wheels have a 200 LBS weight limit.

They look like a great deal and low weight for a clincher. I guess I should've specified in my first post but looking for a wheel that's at least 32 mm deep.Noctiluxx wrote: ↑Mon Feb 26, 2018 2:51 amI purchased a pair of DT Swiss Spline RC28 Mon Chasseral clinchers that weight 1250 grams were on sale for $1700 from Merlin Cycles.
