Hey 73steff, curious if you were able to weigh both front and back stripped down yet? Was hoping to get a definitive answer before I decided to order a new set. Thanks!
Wow, about 1300g for the rear wheelset? So both front and rear are what, 2,400+? That's a heavy wheelset! I think I'll be replacing them with a set of Industry 9 Enduro S Hydra's at 1,900g.

I have been so close to pulling the trigger on a Levo Comp over the last month, glad I held off because I think the SL is right up my alley. I'm already an experienced rider with decent fitness but looking for a little help on the climbs and on longer rides.The only thing that worries me is...
