Montague Hummer for carbon wheels?

[Bernie]

Hello everyone!

I'm wanting to lighten up the components. I got an Ergon post and saddle. I think I wanna tackle wheels now.

And I'm ignorant of carbon wheels and tubeless tires.

These Montagues have disc brake on the fork and rim brake in back. (But the mount for rim brakes is unused on the fork.)

Buzzing around online I haven't seemed to encounter brake disc mounting on carbon wheels.

Also, it's a folding mtb (26" wheel) and I occasionally go for trails in my declining years... Should I know anything about using or avoiding this type of wheel?

I'd be super grateful of advice or steering on this improvement. I wanna get as lightweight as I can, fork, crankset, handlebar are likely to follow down the road.

Thanks for your kind attention!

This Pic is a screen grab, not my bike but nearly identical. Both are

Taiwan Hummers, not the later Chinese models.

After you've fitted that beauty with Zipp carbon wheels, the next obvious step would be a Ceramic Speed Jockey wheel cage. Not only does it save 4.2 grams, it is also pretty aero too, saving you seconds at the finish line.

After that, a Drillium crank, graphene tyres and balsa spokes would be the obvious next step. In that order.

That should bring the weight down to 32 kgs.

Haha, it's kinda lightweight already... my arms are just lazy and old.

And the components are very basic and tend toward the heavy: a nod to its military forerunner.
