Weight Weenies Just Move On
 

Amazon is not the place that I would normally look to for high end bicycle components. But this wheel caught my attention today (see red arrow).

Should be 1815 grams for a set.

People make mistakes all the time.

My guess is that it is shipping weight (which is typically pounds - at least on Amazon).

You are probably right about that. Take the weight of the wheels, plus any accessories, plus probably a pair of wheel bags and all packing materials, shipping weight is going to be far more than the actual weight of the wheels

So the Campy version is $200 less and 10 pounds more?

What are they packing it in that adds nine pounds of weight?

Sand!

Shipping weight, and with light, bulky things, they actually use a volumetric shipping weight equivalent, since the box takes up space and they price per lb.

Puppies!
