Sorry, I just refitted the Snyper’s on the “spare” wheels (literally last week) and I’m loathe to remove them again as I’m one armed at the moment
What I can say without actually weighing them is they are REALLY heavy…. just from picking both up I’d say the Synper is heavier all by itself than a RR + light Front Wheel (Rim, Spokes, Hub, 160mm rotor and valves/sealant)
In terms of volume the RR is noticeably more but the Synper’s have tubes and are on different crap Alex rims and I’m not for pulling off the RR’s and trying to fit the Snypers tubeless on the Stans Rims then rip them off and refit the RR’s ad lose a whole load of sealant in the process.
Actually the plan was I was going to do this and see if any part of the stock wheels from his FS were reusable for pedalling but having taken one of the Snyper’s off they were so heavy as to be unusable for normal riding so are likely to be used only for DH days and bike park.
All that said it has to depend WHERE you ride. I know POAH (or more accurately his lad) had a poor experience with RR’s where he usually rides. (Hopefully he will chip in as he has another option to the three above)
I put this down to where he rides … and the RR’s are not good for miles of sharp stone.
We occasionally ride Guisburn Forest and the RR’s (either Racing Ralph or Rocket Ron’s) are crap over lots of sharp stone .. Jnr got round without a puncture but I managed to get a just sealing one on my rear which is a Rocket Ron 2.4
Gripwise the RR’s are OK …. fast rolling and bite OK to the limited depth they can.
