First, I think there are like 242 grams to a pound.

With that said, unicycle.com says profile is 2lb hub, and each crank is
1/2lb, totaling up to 3lbs. I think that's 170s.

How 'like' is 'like'? There are 453.592 grams in one pound (i.e., 1
lb).

* There are 453.592 grams in one pound *

If there are 453.592 grams in one pound, how many dogs does each Gram
own?

QU-AX hub = 680g
145mm cranks = 706g

24" Halo SAS rim = 674g
48 spokes for the above with nipples = 320g


I would have finished building it for you, BUT now you have made me take
it apart to weigh it

LOL

Sorry, I was reciting a stat I heard about 15 months ago, so I wasn't
sure if it was 453 or 242. I had both numbers inmy head, and just
couldn't remember which was which.

remember the qu-ax will weigh more as it is a 48 hole hub so the wheel
set will weigh more but it's v strong!! It's a nice cheep muni i have
one i think rodger has some 2 sell. and @ £10 more then a nimbus it's a
great deal!!
