Thought it may be useful.

Here is some info I found. Correct if.

Add your data if you have weighed them or know other reputable source and please include your source in the listing, with hardware.


Longboards - black (35,45) are listed by SKS as 689g. Not sure if 35 or 45 width.

Berthouds 650b x 50 (644g). stainless (Berthoud, France) (front long set and hardware)

Honjo hammered H50 650b x 50mm  ~440g.  aluminum (biketouringnews store, set, includes hardware).

That's close to what I've measured:

Plastic (SKS, Zefal, PB, with steel stays) in 26 X 45-55 sizes are about 1.5 lb.

Honjos, 559 X 50 or so: 1 lb.

I didn't get around to measuring my 700C PB 35s or my 700C VO aluminum 35-40s, and if I measured my 559 X 50 Berthouds, I forgot the number.

But I swear that the PB Cascadias, 65 mm, 700C, that I recently took off my Matthews weighed an even lb, with the cute little but beefy rubber flaps front and rear and steel stays -- but, shortened,  to attach about 1/3 of the way down from the crown -- in front; and in the rear, missing altogether, as the rear rack has a boss to provide a 3d direct mount; also, the fender was about 2/3 length -- just long enough, with flap, to keep goop off the rear lamp.
