I just weighed my Mavic 823(older lighter version) with DT double butted spokes, Aluminum nipples, and Tune front hub(I thought they were the lightest), and it's 1079 grams. The Atom lab is 989g(claimed, I'll check weight sometime), so even with a Ghetto rim strip(I weighed one of my homemade ones at 65grams), the Atom Lab is still lighter at 1054g than the mavic build, and has straight gauge spokes, and the Ghetto strip can be replaced for a lighter Stans one. I've run the rear rim for 6 months now. with a crack, and flat spot from a bad casing that'd have destroyed any rim, and it still is holding up fine. I can't rate these wheels enough, rear has heaps of clicks. After a year some spokes are snapping, and I'm replacing them with DTs, but still not enough to worry me.If you're after new wheels, check out Atom Labs Pimp Lites. Rims come in many fancy colours too.No I have no affiliation with Atom Lab.
