Wondering if anyone can help me. I have a spare set of Mavic D321s with the Hugi FR hubs, hell of a build, but overkill for what I am using them for. Not sure if I want to lug around all the extra weight. Does anyone know about how much heavier these are than say Rhyno Lites.

Appreciate it!

They are 675 grams.

http://weightweenies.starbike.com/listings.php is your gram counting god. It may be road-orientated, but still handy.
675g for D321 vs 550g for a Rhyno Lite.
The RL isn't quite as light as people make it out to be, but it's a damn good rim.

Of course you could always pedal harder and get stronger. neaky:

God forbid I do that!

No if I am not even looking at one pound for both I will definitely run the Maivcs, as I said they are a much better build. It must just be me that has put on all the extra weight and not my bike.

Appreciate it.

521 on the front would probably give a better tyre profile, nice and round.

What is the width of the 321 vs the 521. What does the 521 weigh?

Problem is I own a set of nice handbuilt 321s and a set of lower grade Rhino Lytes

I have a set of 321's on my trail bike, they are a bit heavy and roll a little slower than a light wheel set but not bad. You could set them up tubeless with stan's and save quite a bit of weight there.

 

[Mtnrider]

I was under the impression that rotational weight made a big difference with how fast a wheel will roll. But that makes since that it would affect acceleration the most. I do run DH tires on my trail bike, smaller size than I would run on a DH bike but still heavy tires.

Good to know, thanks.

typically a 321 will weigh just shy of 700g and a 521 around 600g

Sell your Ryno's and your 321's and build up a set of 521's with DB or TB spokes, you will save tons of weight and lose negligible strength.

Mavic lists all of their product weights on their website and Weightweenies (posted above) should have comparison figures for other rims.

What about width?
