    Here are weights from my 2013 FSR Comp 29.
    Wheels & hubs only, these numbers do not include the quick releases:
    Front 920g
    Rear 1135g

    Wheels, stock tires, tubes, rotors & 1030 cassette:
    Front 2025g Purgatory Control
    Rear 2570g Ground Control,

    I saved approx 445g by converting to tubeless Roval Control wheelset. All weights are from the Park Tool component scale.

    I had similar weights from my 2012 FSR Comp 29 stock wheels:

    Specialized Roval Control Trail 29

    front 946g (w/ tape)
    rear 1141g (w/ tape)

    Those weights include the red rubber tubeless tape.

    Stock wheelset is definitely heavy. I swapped to ZTR Arch EX's and went tubeless. You notice difference immediately in acceleration.

    Pretty easy to shave a pound and gain some durability with a wheel upgrade and tubeless conversion. Stock hubs are the especially weak link.
    No matter how slow you go, you are still lapping everyone on the couch.

    thanks guys, i know the stockers a bit heavy and hubs are trash. Already went tubeless for the time being, but arch ex's will be laced up to hope evo's. just looking to make the bike a little more snappy when putting some power down. also would like to upgrade to a lighter cassette aswell.
