Evening all

Currently running pro 2 hubs on EN521 rims. They are very strong and reliable but a bit heavy (approx 2000g). Went into my LBS recently and found some Industry 9 wheels weighing in at 1650ish g. The I9 wheels are works of art but just wondering how much I will notice the difference in weight between the two wheelsets? The rims on the I9's are Stans ZTR flows, 100g lighter than my current EN521's.

Any help / advice would be great.

A lot, especially seeing as they are mated up to such amazing hubs. Seems like nonsense until you try them, but compared to a basic hub they are stunning. Spin forever. If I could afford to I'd have them. Also if you go tubeless you might lose even more weight.

First Remove Rotating Weight
Then Sprung Weight

You'll notice it loads, especially when coming out of corners and climbing.
