Stock stumpy fsr 29 comp wheelset weight? 2013

[ardmoregeorge]

Anybody thrown em on a scale? Looking for some weight loss.
Thanks

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.

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.
