Ok, just to ensure we are comparing apples with apples
The Front Wheel weighs 5.108kg
this includes cast rim (wheel ), 2 bearings, 2 seals and the valve placed in the rim so to be exact an amount needs to be deducted for the valve.
Does not included discs or mounting bolts (3.432kg )
The Rear Wheel weighs 8.982kg
this includes cast rim (wheel), cush drive ally casting, cush drive rubbers, 40T sprocket, sprocket mounting bolts, 2 off wheel bearing and seals, cush drive bearing and seal, cush drive to wheel spacer.
Does not include rear disc and mounting bolts (1.091kg)
So all cast/forged mag/ally wheels and Carbon Fibre wheels on the market these days normally come supplied with bearings/spacers / cush drive and a sprocket.
This last paragragh is related to the guy / company that is selling the Marvic wheel package so for all and sundry to make a fair weight comparision ..that is if weight is ones only concern. Remember the weight of the wheel has a direct correlation to acceleration, braking and turn in.
hope this helps <i></i>

What knid of weight savings are we looking at with an after market wheel. I'm interested in the braking improvements. <i></i>

Throwdown , all the info is there to do the calcs. That is a pair. You need to contact the seller of the Marvic wheels as to what is the exact weight with all the bits and pieces attached so that a fair comparision can be made. Ask him to weigh the wheels on scales capable of reading to a gram. That way you can see how many dollars each gram costs?????????????????
Bathroom scales will not do!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Cheaper to go on a diet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've always said that. Some people change pegs because they are lighter. IF weight is to go, my waist should be the first port of call <i></i>

I'm working on the personal weight thing, but at the moment I'm in denial that I have a beer gut. It's much easier to blame the bike. That thing's a fat bastard. <i></i>
