I'm thinking about building up a second/new set of wheels for the 2013 Jedi with the goal of saving some weight without sacrificing to much strength. Right now I am on a Mavic EX823(rear) and EX721(front) setup laced to Hope Pro2 hubs w/ DT Swiss Competition spokes. I will be keeping these wheels as backup/mud spike wheels if I do end up building a new set.
So, I'm considering either running a Spike Evo 35 in the rear and a Spike Race 28 in the front, or just dual Evo 35's. I'm still undecided on hubs, but I will continue to run DT Competition spokes and a tubeless setup. By running dual Evo 35's, I should drop the total wheelset weight by ~120g and running an Evo 35/Race 28 setup should drop ~219g.
That nearly half a pound in rim weight is what really sparked this thought, but I haven't seen many people who have been running them yet. So anyone got any real time on either of these rims?
