Wheel and Disc weights I know there has been some discussion recently about how much various front wheels weigh. Here are the ones I have on various bikes, I also have some standard original wheels but have not had the tyres off to weigh them. Brembo 3-spoke (from 916 etc) 5.3kg Astralite 4.7kg Classic Marchesini 3-spoke (aluminium) 4.9kg Of course this does not tell you how the weight is distributed; the Astralite feels more "manoeverable" than the Marchesini Also there is quite a difference with the disc weights. Standard, steel centre and round holes 1.86kg Floating, cast iron and alloy centre 1.65kg Floating, steel and alloy centre (ST4S type) 1.68kg The last discs come up on a regular basis on eBay for around £90 the pair. |
