Is it about 150-200g?
Anyone got both and been bothered to get the 'real' weights?
Thanks

Righto ta.

I should have also asked do the crests feel a lot lighter and quicker than the flows, would you notice much difference?

Crest rims are about 340-345g each, Flows are about 470g each.

Therefore, difference per pair of Hoops is about 250g

I have both so can confirm that, yes, the weight difference in terms of both weight in hand and in rotation is indeed palpable. Both wheelsets have the same hubs and spokes.
