wheel weight?

lugsey2k5

hi
does any 1 know the weight of my current wheel set up without the tires as i dont have a set of scales etc that are any good.

they are
Front hub KK Disc
Rear hub Shimano FH-M475 disc
Spokes Stainless 14g
Rims Sun S.O.S. P1

im asking as i would like to shed some wieght and thought wheels may be a good place to start.
any help will be much apreciated

Not light, a rough guess about 2.2kg for the pair.

ah i see chears,
what is a decent weight for xc/am wheels. dont know much about wheels
also could you please recoment a good replacement set for around £200 max?

Have a look on Merlin for deals. 719 rims are a good choice, and maybe XT or Hope hubs.

I'd keep what you have until they die. Its a reasonable set.
