[#1415199]

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 😆
