This is tubular wheelset, which means “racing wheel”. It is always lighter than a 50mm carbon clincher wheelset.

This tubular road wheelset comes with front and rear wheel and assembled with J-hook hubs:  Novatec A291SB / F482SB in 20/24 holes. Moreover, all buyers would receive a free gift pack with a pair of skewers and brake pads.

A tubular wheelset offering greater durability, lower rolling resistance, and are potentially safer when going flat at higher speed (if they have been glued properly). Of course, tubular tires are more expensive than clinchers and they are more difficult to maintain / repatch as an individual.

The Novatec A291 front hub is exceptionally light and comes with sealed cartridge bearings. It is not suitable for radial lacing so the lacing pattern will be tangential and determined by your hole count option(we offer 20/24 holes). The front hub weighs a mere 82g and comes complete with quick release skewer.

Thank you for you post. Nice wheels!

It is always lighter than a 50mm carbon clincher wheelset.
Are you sure ? Found this on XMCarbonSpeed ( http://www.xmcarbonspeed.com/Productinfo.asp?f=1404 ), which is slightly lighter, 1300gr/pair .
Does this wheel set comes with warranty ? It's not all about the price these days, but also about the after-sales.
