Anyone know how much the wheels weigh on this bike?

I keep being told I need to upgrade my wheels to something lighter, but it would be nice to know how much of a weight saving I would make.

    Who by? What for?

    Presumably Alex S500's - Approx 2050g.

    If its the Elite then it should have Mavic CXP-22 's.

    I have Alex S500's - sure there are way better and lighter wheels out there but they'll do me for now...unless you wanna swap Dave ? :wink:

    750 grams more than the Easton EA70's I replaced them with (inc skewers and cassette), can you not weight yours?.

    Made a big difference to the bike.

    I read on here that wheels are a good upgrade, and my riding buddy goes on at me too!

    They are Mavic rims on no brand hubs.
