The lighter wheels are not necessarily better, depends on how you ride.
The heavy wheels give you a tad more inertia which can be useful, ie up the hill to the hairpin at Brands or the first left at Cadwell. OK they may take a little bit more braking as a result but this lends itself to smoother flowing riders as opposed to point and squirt methods.
Running twin discs has the same effect.
I swapped from heavy to light wheels and to be honest couldn't tell any difference (*maybe because I'm such a smooth corner demon ) so don't fret if you don't find a set.







*or just not good enough to tell them apart.


It's not the size of the dog in the fight that matters, but the size of the fight in the dog.
