I just received the Squire 11 TCX D and they actually weigh closer to 2260g per pair.

Most likely the weight listed is without brakes.

Well, I had a chance to weight the Griffon 13 TCX demos too. On 2 different scales they came out to 2540 g for the pair with 110mm brakes. So a 90 g discrepancy with the listed weight, whereas the Squires have a 325 g difference.

It then is listed wrong because its odd that the regular Squire 12 TCX binding is listed at 1948g and the 11 TCX Demo is listed at 1935g. Demo bindings are usually heavier given similar designs. Weird indeed.
