My sentiment exactly, especially once they started making proper zero wheels by actually getting rid of the brakes track to give a better profile with the tyres.
Most especially the tru-axles doing away with the quick release axles and use a large alu axles.
The alu axles on my Saracen is already pretty light.

Should be sooner than that. Stans originally released the Alpha 340 as exactly that, a 340g rim brake rim, but then apparently it all fell apart when you actually braked on it, so they gave it extra meat and it went up to a portly 360g.
Was speaking to one of their reps recently and he said something around the 300g is in the works.

few years and we might see disc only road rims go below 300g and novatec produce even lighter road disc hubs for the average ebay buyer.
