The Bontragers felt considerably lighter than the Wolber wheelset and now I'm curious just how much an original pair of 27" wheels actually weigh. Just looking for ballpark weight on a typical set of 27" steel wheels.
(Also got the Bontrager Race set with brand new cassette for $60...good buy?)
1) I don't believe Bontrager EVER sold steel rim wheels.
2) I don't believe Bontrager EVER sold 27" (630mm) rims
3) The Wolber wheelset was probably MUCH better than whatever you ended up buying
Post a pic, so we can at least get SOME idea of what you have. Right now, we are all doubting what you've told us.
