Just received my Feder 45mm with DT240 hubs today and paired it with the new Pirelli P Zero Road
Measured weight was front 642g rear 735g, only 7g than the claimed 1370g so pretty good!
was it easy mounting the tire on the rim?

My set came in total 1013g, same depth and hubs.
Ordered with 20/24 CX ray spokes and alu nipples.
But that was more than a year ago, maybe rims are lighter these days. :)

Anyone here running the Kaze series 26mm external width with Vittoria tires? Just curious about the actual installed width. I am thinking about getting a set of Kaze 26mm wide 50mm deep rims and I would ideally want to run 25c vittoria corsa clinchers but I want to make sure that the tire isn't going to baloon out. Related to that, is anyone here using their classic series rims in 25mm external width and actual installed tire widths?

if it helps, I run at the back 25mm Conti GP5000 on Kaze 26 external; the tyre measures 26,7mm

Oh yes...short stick...I was crying all night long. :)

Although these wheels are not ridden often, I'm happy with them.
No flex at all, but bear in mind I'm around 63/64kg.
But it is a pure pleasure riding them on Krvavec mountain. :)

topt, thanks for the info. I think I'm gonna go with their classic rims with a 23mm tire in front and 25mm tire in the back.
