4. Have your shop return the front wheel to a non-dyno hub. I think the main reason to try to drop significant weight from a Clem wheelset is to counteract the gain in a SON and headlamp, if you're pulling those weight-gainers out then it's probably enough to give your bike the sprightliness you need. At the end of the day a Clem is never going to be a superlight, you just need a little weight reduction boost on the hills. In my opinion.
