Thanks Chris.. TBH.. I've no idea about the overall lack of weight it amazed me I was expecting around 24-26lb fully built,,, I think a lot of it is down to the wheels as they weigh nothing..along with the WCS ritchey tyres and latex tubes.. nokon cable , full ti and alloy bolts . :shock: and the Rocket Science quilled stem is the lightest stem I have ever felt, aided by a nice alloy quill bolt within.. 
Really looking forward to seeing how it rides and a repaint is on the cards if I like it..
I'm not going to reveal the 'full on' shot yet,, want to get the rest of the nokon cables built and chain / cassette on
If your after inner tubes,, the ones on here are maxxis flyweights and they were a tenner a piece so not cheap... maybe best bet is the bay for cheap ones.. although crc have a few offers...

:? Dont you mean clicky clicky clicking
I think the wheels will be ace through winter months as there is a decided lack of spokeage so it will allow for the mud and crap to escape easier , and also save me some time cleaning
And man are they light .. certainly part of the reason the bike is light..
TBH i was not going to use them on this build but I think they look quite good and certainly if I go for the re-spray in the new year they should tie in nice
When you go for the respray, those wheels may just stop crying!
Did you do anything to the hubs, or do you think they are ok?
I see you have a new Avatar, rather scary that I use the same one on around 10 different forums I frequent, is it your eyes that I feel in the back of my head on dark nights?

Well as long as it rides nice then a respray is on the cards..
I have not done anything with the wheels as yet chap, although I did notice when I've fitted the cassette that the freehub seems very stiff ? I'll see how we go and then if needs be do some surgery..
Yea Kermit is having a holiday for a while , so I thought it was about time the Monkey showed his face again..
I think the avatar that you use may be his brother who went missing around 1975 ,
