how much do gen 2 wheels weigh
11/11/13 7:49 PM

I'm wondering if anybody has weighed a set of gen 2 wheels. I believe there lighter than gen 1 wheels, but by how much. I'm going to upgrade my wheels and want to compare Gen 2's to some of the other options. I would love to buy a set of bst's but my bike is a 2007 and even though it's a great bike it's still a $6000.00 bike, hard to justify dropping 3-4k on wheels.

Thanks Nasty, Yeah 3 lbs. isn't worth it. I'll look into carrozzeria or marchesini. Maybe a nice 2nd hand set will pop up.
