Yesterday I had the front wheels off two bicycles and on impulse I
weighed them. One bike front wheel with 23mm tire and skewer, complete
as installed on the bike weighed 2.9Kg and the second bike wheel,
again complete as installed, weighed 2.8Kg. The bikes are both steel
frame road bike, not racing bikes and the wheels are typical aluminum
rims.
Would this be a typical wheel weight? Heavy? Light?
Sounds typical.
