So you think you will notice 50g difference per wheel on a fully loaded tourer…??
I’ll notice it when it isn’t loaded. Although I’m not even considering open pros!
Agree with cynical-al, I’m 75kg too, and I wouldn’t tour on an open pro!
It’s a racing/training rim. Out on a bike today with open pros, so have a clue about them. These (bought 2 years ago) were a bit over the claimed 435g iirc.
Maybe I didn’t say, I thought it was obvious, I’ll be using disc brakes- so don’t need a rim braking surface. Surely having a rim that doesn’t have a braking surface (and the associated crush resistance) could be a chunk lighter.
I’m really not after building a weight-weenie bike, just don’t want to over build it. I’ve done that before and regretted it.
Thinking that the Crest has no rider weight limits, and me + my gear would still be less than a lot of mountain bikers that are bigger than me and have huge camelbaks all the time.
Think I’ll try it.
