1400 gram AL wheels?

[vqdriver]

another wheelset recommendation request.

any good aluminum wheelsets out there that are worth looking at? i'm on zipp 303 now and i'd like to get back down to 1400gr. don't need aero. would like new fangled brake tracks.
rims or factory sets are fine.

no campy or fulcrum. i've had a few sets and i'm done with the overpriced repairs.

edit: rim brakes

This

Boyd Altamont rims (or similar)
Carbon Ti hubs
CX-Rays
alloy nipples
20/24 spoke count

That's more like 1350g and pretty everyday for say 180 and under (upper end depends on the rider).

have you seen this ad:

thats a super impressive weight for a 28/28 wheelset IMO.

so, if you dont want to buy those and the 30g is a sticking point, a 24/28 or 24/24 set should get you to 1400 even, if that weight quoted is accurate.

if you go with stans 340's with tune's laced to CX rays (in a 20/24) you'd be sub-1300. ask me how i know

24/28 would be plenty durable btw, and get your right around 1330.

I really don't like Stan's Alpha rims. I had a customer send a set of wheels back because he had 2 different tires blow off the rear rim while installing new. It was Alpha 400 that was on rear wheel. Luckily he wasn't riding it at the time. I don't think their bead design works with every tire and I can't afford that risk. If I remember right he was trying to install Continental tires.

i know the v1's had that issue, but the v2's fixed that no?

Not positive, but pretty sure it was V2. I think the 400 only came out when V2 was already a thing or at least at the same time.

I'm in the market for a new set of AL wheels as well - what would the cost of these be?

$1040 in ConUS.
$1160 with ceramic coating

Wh-9000 c24?

Zipp 202 comes in < 1400 and I like them better than 303 as an all around wheelset.

For aluminum, I have a set of DT 240 hubs, Velocity Aerohead rims, CX Ray spokes that are somewhere around 1500. You can play around with rim choice or try tubular to shave more weight.

Have some posted in the Classifieds that won't cost you crazy dollars. Campy compatible...little bit old school. Probably a bit under 1400g.

The v2 will blown tires off while inflating. This has happened twice for me. Done with Stan's Alpha rims.
