Front wheel was pretty minor, maybe an ounce at most. Rear wheel was probably closer to 5-6oz.

The idea of foul weather wheels is starting to sound more appealing, but really, who sets out thinking that they may get stuck in a torrential downpour? Not I.
I've often thought that a solid rubber tire (tyre) would suit me just fine on training rides. I'm not racing for city limit signs, or trying to set PR's. It's all about the interval and the clock.
