Yes it would, because it's likely impossible with current manufacturing and materials. Period. No way are usable carbon rims going to weigh 200g any time soon, and certainly not at what's currently a low end price point for wheelsets. I think overall the bike market is pretty amazing right now. It's actually hard to buy bad components unless you're broke, the lower price points keep getting lighter, and tires keep improving. Forks and frames are better than ever. @yogi-

Transition TransAM 29er. I am a Cat 1 racer and I ride this all winter. It just makes smile even at 29.5 pounds. It keeps the skills improving while just having fun! Love the ride J I have to say I love my all mountain hardtail.
