I checked it when I built my last race bike. The frame was a few grams heavier and the bare wheels were the same. The total difference was basically a bit more than the weight of the rotors.

let’s see the exact two bikes. And 3 bikes over 10 years with discs, I think I know how to change a wheel. And if it’s so easy, why do Pro teams that have the money not even bother to change wheels now and just change bikes.
