Just for giggles I've weighed the very nice MT 3.00 x 18 inch 1000S cast rear wheel I purchased to replace my splitting rear spoked 3.00 x 18 Mille GT wheel. The wheels were weighed complete with brake rotor but minus tire / tube, 24.80# against the original spoked rim, 21.82 :difference = +2.98#. My measuring instrument is a cheapie but I'll believe that. Now if the tube in a tube type tire weighs more than 2.98# it is a break even proposition. The smaller 2.15 x 18 Lester rear mag that I have is quite heavy at 19.08 without a brake rotor and bolts. I had heard it said that Guzzi cast wheels were punitivey heavy, I no longer believe that! The front may be a different matter. We'll see when the matching cast wheel arrives from Germany. These cast wheels are marked MT so are rated for tubeless use which I will prefer. About $600 to complete the conversion versus over $600 to replace the rims for the spoked wheels.Brian
A few years ago I put spoked wheels on my Norge, replacing the standard cast ones.They “look” lighter, but the difference is negligible.
Do you run tubes on these wheels? The design looks conventional from the low res images. There is a fair amount of info on converting std spoke wheels to tubeless on the RE forums including the novel technique of cutting a normal tube circumferentially spreading it across the rim and it seating between the rim and the tyre bead and trimming the excess. I wouldn't do it but it seems to work. The other methodology is rim sealing tape.Ciao
Tubeless since Jan 2016.Fixed one leaking spoke nipple since that time. Rmember they are blind nipples on the Bellagio which was the donor bike.
