I have thought about building a very light DH race wheelset. Well I finally took action.
I was wondering if this is possibly the lightest I can go for a DH wheelset. Please help out. I have already ordered rims and hubs.
Wheelbuild
2007 Mavic EX721 32 hole -- 1100 grams
WTB Laser disc Super Duty 150mm -- 284 gams
WTB laser Disc Super Duty 20mm -- 185 grams
DT swiss Revolution spokes X64 -- 270 grams
DT swiss pro loc nipples alloy X64 -- 20 grams
Total -- 1859 grams = 4.09lb
Im not sure if i can go any lighter then this to suit DH racing.
