Well, these are probably them - 1,270 grams (for the silver version) and 1,340g (for the black version), including rim tape. We took our Sub-15s and used a lighter-weight rim plus a couple of other minor tweaks to shave off some weight..\u003cspan\u003e They feature low-flange hubs, aero-profile rims with a silver machined braking surface, a 20h radial front, and 24h cross-laced double-butted spokes.
