What about good things?
Started the day with a pre-work mtb ride. Temps were a couple of degrees below freezing, so other than some crunchy frost heaves and some not quite frozen spots in the really wet areas things were hard and fast. Nice.
Then I get to work and Brown Santa shows up with a couple of these:
I've been pretty happy with my wheels, but I've heard these mythical stories of people airing up their tires with just a floor pump (when setting up tubeless). Although my rims have never let me down, the initial installation of tires is never nearly that easy, so if I can make my life easier and loose some weight too? Seems like a no brainer. Other than they cost twice as much as my current rims.
If all that wasn't enough, when i switch on the ol' internet, Thom discusses his newest fetish.
Ah, life is good.

What are you running for spokes/hubs? Or is that classified info?
I'm just replacing the rims on my current wheels, so DT Revolution 2.0/1.5 spokes, brass nipples, DT 240 SS rear hub, and a Formula front.
What will be the net rotational weight savings? Don't say you didn't calculate.
I'm guessing about 240g when all is said and done.
Charlie,
I read on the interwebs the decals on the rims weigh 9 grams on each rim. Picked mine up today as well and the first order of business will be to remove the decals . . .
Wow 2.0 1.5 revo's? At 170, that is not in the cards for me. I am envious!
