You can't buy them anymore, but Jon Neugen'ts ultralight alloy wheels were wonderful. The first time I bunny hopped on them it felt like I went a couple inches higher than usual. I abuse them: https://blog.piaw.net/2023/03/review-neugent-cycling-a422towox-wheels.html
Recently someone sold me a pair of Ritchey Classic wheels. They're really light too. They run $700 new but on sale you can usually find them around $400. The most important thing about weight is that the lighter you are, the more weight matters. My son is less than 90 pounds and my wife is less than 120. Shaving a pound or two (or in the case of the upgrade from the Cheviot to the Ritchey Logic frame, 10 pounds!) off their bikes really makes a difference as they can really feel it and the weight savings is a larger percentage of the total system weight. If you weigh 200 pounds that pound or ten matters less. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
