Anyone have a KH500 wheel (small hub) and a H1/H2 wheel (large hub) to compare total weights (in the same configuration)?

Although one would expect the KH wheel to be allot lighter, it has longer steel spokes. It also uses longer "spokes" on its brake disk.

I have a KH500 front hub.....has both bearings and the right side chrome cover. I can weigh that at work if its what your looking for.

'Moo has reported an S hub weighs 3lbs, 4.5oz.

As most H parts are bigger/heavier your KH500 hub may be different (prolly accepts a bigger/different axle too).

Yes, please remove the chrome cover and weigh your KH hub.
