    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).

    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!! Ben

    the only bad thing is the saddle the mud sticks 2 it! the
    frame is v wide u will hit ur knees 4 like a week but after
    that it's fine trust me. I might b getting a different frame
    for it sometime tho as it is fairly heavy and v strong i
    might get the cheaper frame off municycle Ben
