I was thinking a little lighter with those wheels. I have mine at like 41.7 or some shit and I have some lighter stuff and some heavier stuff.

We're talking a pound and a half of difference... Yours is almost 42 pounds and you got rid of that boat anchor headset cup and rear axle... catch my drift?

Do you have a road cassette? Way off topic, but just wondering.

Road Cassette's are smaller and lighter, if you're running out of gears, you should look into one.

Whoa I just said I thought it may be a little lighter! I wasn't trying to argue just conversate. I wasn't sure how much his wheels would differ in mine or if the saint cranks would make a diff either.

You could lose a bunch of weight.. Switch to an Ultegra or Dura-Ace cassette, 729 to 721 or 823 done-up tubeless, Im not too sure bout the weight of the 440 hubs.. Yea small things can make loads of a difference!..
