The 34 hunts are wide rims, can easily take 28’s.


And yes on the tires. Currently on stock wheels that weight a ton, and riding 28mm armadillo winter tires. A pair of tubeless or latex tube Conti’s will be mounted to the new wheels.

Plus a lighter cassette and brake discs.

with that setup, the Hunt wheels will be 2.5#’s lighter than what I’m running now, Bontrager’s 1.9#s.

Both decent weight savings.

Tire width may be the deciding factor here.
