    Just a note on why I was after the wheel's weight, Yahman.
    Turns out that the swirly wheels fitted to the later model XS11's (RH and 5K7) are more than a kilo (2.2lbs) lighter each, which offer a substantial weight loss compared to the older straight spoke rims.

      Just so you know, the wheel I weighed was from a 79 Special. the weight difference is obvious if you have ever picked up the front wheel from an early model XS and an XJ.
