Looking to bring the weight of my colnago master down and change the wheels out.
Currently i have the nemesis tubular which are very heavy,so i am looking at the hyperons ultra 2 which i can get for the same price as the bora one 35 tubular versions.
Any input would be great thanks.
The colnago master is such a lovley ride i am thinking of using it as my main bike,but as said its not light 8.5kg.

I have a Master X Light and I also have a pair of Bora One 35. Bora One 35 are ridiculously light weight - mine are 1185 grams but do not get too light on the front end.

However, subjectively speaking :-

I'd perish the thought of the Master wearing a set of Boras.

Aesthetically the Hyperons will look much better on the Master as the Bora One 35 offer a considerably stiffer ride than the Hyperon (which I have also owned in the past) To me the Master is about archair comfort.

I'f those are your favoured options I'd go for the Hyperon.

Thanks guys,i thought the hyperons but is there a set of carbon tubular rims aside from hyperons that would suit the bike?

Yeah, get out of here with that recommendation of a lighter and better braking wheel for a great price! Shame on you!
