I'm getting some info together to build up a set of UST disc wheels and am only lacking the estimated weight of the spokes and nipples.

Thanks

Depends on the length but this chart on the DT Swiss website will give you a general idea for comparison...

It does not have to be completely accurate. I just wanted some idea to stick into my figures.

.......from my Magura Cult WeightWeenie page -

DT Comp, 14/15db, 262mm - 6g each or 190g for 32.

Nipples
Brass - 28g for 32
Alum - 10g for 32

Rim tape? Use the world's lightest - 3m filament stapping tape at about 4-5g per wheel.
