Wheel Weights

Was fiddling with wheels this evening and then went a bit mad weighing various wheels. Number below, feel free to add if you know your own wheel setup weights.

---

Normal Race Wheels Setup Weight = 2445g
Mavic Krysium Elite + Continental GP4000S + tube + skewer + Ultegra 11-25 cassette = 1487
Planet X Model B + Schwalbe Ultremo ZLX + tube + skewer = 958

Aero Deep Section Wheelset Weight = 2729g
Planet X 60mm Clincher + Continental GP4000S + tube + skewer + Ultegra 11-25 cassette = 1583
Planet X 60mm Clincher + Schwalbe Ultremo ZLX + tube + skewer = 1146

Winter wheelset Weight = 3028g
Shimano R501 + Continental Gator SKin + tube + skewer + Ultegra 11-28 cassette = 1813
Shimano R501 + Continental GP4000S + tube + skewer = 1215

Really like it as it feels really fast. Both the ZLX tyres are fairly new so cannot judge puncture resistance yet though have used older versions of the same tyre from Schwalbe before and have not had any more punctures than normal.

Wouldn't use them in places with a lot of glass around and when rearranging tyres on wheels this time round decided to put them on only front wheels (I've had far more punctures on the rear wheels).

This is quite a light setup, the Schwalbe Ultremo ZLX are 160g so further weight savings possible on it if willing to tak on extra puncture risk.

With the Zondas your weights seem to be less than currently advertised, I wonder have newer models got heavier or do they include a skewer. Anyway from what I've read they look like a great set of budget wheels

Note these are 29" disc wheels, my normal all-year-round setup - unless I swap tyres for a CX race or snow.

Shimano XT WH-M785 : 1825g
Kojak 35-622 x2 : 660g
105 12-27 cassette: 256g
sealant: 50g
QR x2 125g
SM-RT67 160m rotor x2: 296g

3212g total

This may seem like a ton, but the ride is superb Wheels are very rigid (being designed for MTB) while tubeless 35mm Kojaks are super supple and faster than people think

They are. The Campagnolo versions are lighter and from what I read the actual weight differs slightly from year to year and from wheel to wheel. They're usually within +/- 50g of advertised weight though. (too scared of punctures to go with the ultremo's btw)
