worthwhile fitting over standard hubs?

is there a big weight saving and i presume they use same bearings?

define big.

if you have the cash, then do it.

lowering unsprung weight is never a bad thing.

seasrch on here ads to which are best - seem to recall some are batter than others.

i seem to remember they usually have bigger bearings that standard. not sure why they would need to though

500g or 5kg, was hoping someone would know a rough weight

IIRC alloy uprights and hubs save about 3-4 KG /side
