Just built a lightweight s/s rear wheel to replace my XC717 rim, revolver hub and WI freewheel

So I built a 717 rim on DT comp spokes and a Hope s/s hub with a Surly 17t sprocket

And turk me sideways the fuggin thing ends up 30g heavier

spend more get more eh

Fill your tube with Hydrogen, it should make up for the extra weight

Ah no dear chap that was naked wheels only , but now they are tubeless with the poverty ghetto method so 30 g saved and no betterr off

Fuggin frustrating though could of saved a load of dosh and just not bothered

I could of made 125ltr of homebrewe wine or 800pts of beer for that price

AGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
