What's the lightest old school wheel ?
Any thoughts ?

I'll start the ball rolling with mongoose alloy proclass ?

dix:
yeh they are light bobafet i had them , more or less some of the lightest at the time  ;)

XEROX:
whta sise? 20x 1.75? or 20x 1.50 or sew ups?

lodge:
Yeah proclass i would reckon, much the same as araya 20x/7x etc but with lots of drillings.

bobafett:
Cool  :daumenhoch:

Thought so - I'm nockin up an old mongoose rider (can't just sit and look at ALL my bikes gotta have at least one to ride !) and i want to keep it light as poss but era correct (ish). Started with a well used supergoose 2 frame, race inc alloy bars, alloy seatpost, shimano sx pedals etc. Just deciding on wheels now so I think i'll go with my proclass survivors  ;) Wasn't sure if there was something else back in the day that might have knocked 'em off their light weight pedestal  ;D

Thanks folks  :daumenhoch:
