I have been importing some far eastern carbon rims. This one is a 300g 38mm deep carbon tubular rim laced to a Miche Primato hub. 853g with Sapim Race spokes and brass nipples so there is much scope for a lighter wheel.

When did you last see an Ambrosio Montreal rim? A while back I think. Here is a pair laced with Sapim spokes to Novatec hollow axle hubs. Again a tubular build.

I like this wheelset I use it my self. I have done another for some one else. The riders of these wheels need to be light 80 kg or less. There is a weight limit on the rim and I repsect the tension limit of the rim.

The RR415 is a rim that weight 415-425g. I keep them in 28H drilling. This wheelset uses the relaible Miche Primato hub and is laced 2x front and rear with Sapim Laser spokes and alloy nipples. The wheels are actually stiff which many would not expect for a light rim and thing spokes. Dt swiss no what they are doing with rims.

The rim is out of production which is a shame. I use mine soley in winter and rim wear is not a problem. I ride them only in the wet. In the dry I have other bike/wheels.

So if you are light and want a light relaible wheelset then consider this.

The Grey Archetype rim is very dark but it lush never the less. This wheelset has been built with Sapim Laser spokes all round. The front is a 24 spoke radial wheel and the rear is a 28 spoke 2x wheel. The hubs are novatec A171/F172. The Novatec hubs give excellent bracing angles and the rims are stiff so Laser spokes on this build work well. Also some weight is saved.

The front wheel is 735g and the rear is 922g so they are light, stiff and look fantastic.
