    if ypu don't fancy a chinese supplier, get some Moriarty wheels as per the thread below - £300 cheaper and exactly the same wheel.

    The Moriarty wheels seem to be heavier than Hunt?

    they also seem to be £300 cheaper which can buy a lot of lighter tires to even the balance or a cool cycling weekend or some blow to enjoy with a ho.

    or even you won't notice the weight difference and you'll be 300 notes up.

    what is the difference out of interest?

    Moriarty - 1800g

    Hunt - 1487g

    Not huge difference, but as we know a few G here and a few G there all adds up. Personally I doubt I’d notice the difference.

    is that actual or claimed?

    agree completely with you logic but it still 300 notes difference.

    what else is avaialable at both price ranges?

  • Mathew, you have posted perhaps five or six answers but not yet bollocked the bloke who posted the picture of his bike with some stem showing.

    Are you losing your touch?

    It's worth checking on Amazon for well priced Chinese wheels for immediate delivery with 2 year warranty.

    Amazon Prime Carbon Wheelsets

    I had a pair of chinese carbon 50mm clinchers. Flexy to the point of brake rubbing. Had the spokes tensioned to reduce flex and 6 months later', the hub flange fractured. My over priced identical Hunts have done 2 years now.Pricey but have been flawless. Guess uninformed opinion trumps real world experience for some!

    or buy some Primes at half the price.

    or buy tubulars as clinchers aren't, really, proper wheels.

    if ypu don't fancy a chinese supplier, get some Moriarty wheels as per the thread below - £300 cheaper and exactly the same wheel.

    Exactly the same wheel, but it turns out 300g heavier. Your logic has holes big enough to drive a train through!

    £1 per gram of saving is quite cost effective on weight alone and 300g is definitely noticeable in wheels.

    the moriartys are just anexample. if you don't fancy them try primes, carbonzone, farsport, etc.

    also check the reviews on the other thread - the hunts aren't very good. their marketing sucks people in but unforunately the failures in performance testing is big enough to drive a battleship through.

    All in good time. Carbon bar just fitted and it’s next on the to do list. Not allowing myself to fit bar tape until it’s been beheaded.
