Hope Pro II rear hub, Velocity Blunt wheel, DT Swiss Comp spokes. No rotor, no skewer, no cassette. 1040g

I used to keep a piece of paper with this written down by my computer, but it's disappeared. At the shop I weighed my CrossMax XL front with a 2.5 WTB Weirwolf Race tire. That tire weighs exactly the same as the 2.3 Neo...the 2.5 size of the Weirwolf is really more like a 2.3. I then weighed my 650B Blunt with 14/15 DT spokes and a convertible 20mm Dimension hub with a Neo. They were almost exactly the same weight. Now, the CrossMax XL is...

The stock wheels that came on my Beasley geared, with shimano centerlock hubs on weinmann discovery rims, with straight gauge spokes and gold annodized alloy nipples, neomotos and kenda 650B tubes combined are about 9 pounds.

Stans/ hope pro 2 front/ DT 2.0/1.5/Revo = 728g Stans/Lefty hub/DT Comps = 690ish g Alex TD-Lite/Woodman Lefty/ DT comps = I think this one will come close to 800g, haven't weighed yet. Don't currently have any rear weights.
