Light chinese rims laced to light european hubs

[Alessandro]

Hey there

Has anyone researched this? I would like to buy some carbon climber wheelset. Since the Asian Hubs are more on the heavy side I have been wondering whether some chinese company sells a light pair with european hubs?

I currently ride Enve 6.7 laced to Tune hubs. They are already quite light at 1220 grams. I'd really love to go sub kg if possible. I guess that makes tubular mandatory

Thanks a ton!

Many asian companies offer their wheels laced to any hubs. Carbonti and extralite they have on stock so you don't have to send them the hubs.

@alcatraz

Yeah I've seen some to offer these, but often times they are not really any lighter than my current wheelset in total since the rims seem to be too heavy. Hence I'm lookin for actual experiences .

Talk to EIE Carbon, I'm sure they can make you a tubular rim well under 300g. I've had good experiences with their SL clinchers.

https://btlos.com would be the way to go.
Each rim is available in 3 different construction and they can assemble them on pretty much all the hubs.
They used to have shallower rims as well as asymmetric but as of today that’s their offerings in tubules / tubular

My farsport tubulars laced to carbon ti have been excellent.

EIE doesn't sell complete wheels with extralite hubs - and I'm a little reluctant to lace these expensive light parts myself even though I laced wheels in the past.

I have asked BTLOS for the lightest wheels they sell if laced to extralites. Since they only sell 30mm on their site I wonder whether they have a 25mm rim as well.

Farsports have an offer for said configuration for $ 1160 shipped - not too bad at 900 grams. A cheaper ($300-ish) alternative would be to use carbon-ti hubs but whats the point if they are almost as heavy as my Enve wheelset.
Do any of these sellers offer discounts?

I would have suggested EIE as well. Too bad they don't have the hubs available.

Maybe talk to Deerobust. They have Extralite and Carbon-Ti on their Aliexpress shop: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32780668656.html
