Are 1200 gram wheels possible?
The front can be standard road quick release or 15 mm bolt on. I don't care.
Rear should be fixed/fixed 15 mm bolt track hubs. I have a Dia Compe Gran Compe short flange fixed/fixed track hub which could be used as a donor if absolutely necessary but would prefer not to cannibalize the existing wheelset.
Carbon or black anodized aluminum preferred. I know the anodized brake track will wear off. I'm OK with that. The bike has rim brakes and uses standard 25 mm road tires.
If 1200 grams isn't a reality then what is? 1300 grams? I've been through the configuration tools at countless wheelbuilder websites and everything comes up 1500 grams or more.
Current wheels are 1600+ grams and I'd like to shed some weight. Not going to spend money on custom wheels to save 100 grams but would spend the cash if 1200 grams were possible. I'm trying to find the weight vs cost sweet spot or determine if there is anything I could do realistically, or just stay with what I have.
