Does anyone know the weight of the shimano 7801-SL rims?

I haven't been able to track this down anywhere.

Many thanks in advance.

You mean the WH-7801-SL wheels? Shimano claims 670 g front, 890 g rear.

Dr John I am just interested in the weight of the rim component not the whole wheelset.

No I don't have a problem with the shimanon hubs (especially since the new version of this wheelset the 7850 has a much improved hub).

I do like the idea of having a set of wheels that gives me the option to try tubeless (at the moment the Hutchinson Fusion 2's are pretty heavy - I suspect due to the bigger carbon bead and the butyl liner). But if tubeless gains in popularity no doubt lighter tires will be available in the future.

These wheels get good reviews but I am concerned about the weight. I don't mind weight at the hub so much, but I do mind it at the rim.
