i've got a set of twe's as does a lot of forumites here. Awesome wheels. Price starts from $600 i think for a basic set of wheels, heaps of options to get it to suit your riding & weight and price.

I have 2 sets of his wheels, 1 alloy clincher set, 1 full carbon clincher set. I love them both.
As mentioned in some of the other replies, best after sales back up and support I have ever come across.
Look 695 SR, Dura-Ace Di2, FSA Carbon Bars, Mavic Cosmic Carbone SL's, Elite Cages, Prologo Nago Evo

I've just ordered my 2nd pair of TWE wheels (MTB this time).booge wrote:Any opinions and roundabout price paid would be good. I put in an online enquiry but didn't hear back from TWE.
I already have a pair of TWE 50mm carbon clinchers with TWE proprietory hubs, DT Swiss aero spokes (20f/24r count) - these were replacements for Mavic Ksyrium Elites, they weigh 1380 grams the pair, less than Ksyrium Elites. I paid $1,600 + courier fee in middle of 2010. My wheels arrived 8 days after I paid, exactly when Greg said they would. TWE = Highly Recommended by this little black duck.
Phone Greg, he is indeed busy but not too busy to take my recent order (last week) and promise a 7-10 day turn around. He is a good listener, not just there to take your money, he can and will build to your own spec has plenty of options and ideas and his 'lifetime' warranty is also very attractive if there is an oops......

Emailed him last night with my enquiry/specs and he called me this morning to discuss options. He impressed me with his phone manner, turnaround time, options (down to what colour stickers i wanted) and the price was competitive. wheels come with crash replacement warranty and all accessories (pads, skewers, tape, valves)
Rims - 50mm front 58mm rear
Spokes - DT aerolite 20F/24R
Hubs - TWE "premier"
Stickers - Black
Weight - ~1380g
Will have them in a week

Black! Is this a stealth move on your part? Or did your shoes complain that they might be overshadowed?JV911 wrote:Stickers - Black

I'd ring Greg on Monday and sort it out with him. How about posting a pic of the damage.....? I'm curious as I expect I'm rolling on the same TWE Premier hubs as yours.
BTW - great looking stealth bomber JV911

The free hub is most likely AL which would be soft so likely to get chewed a bit quicker than a steel or Ti that would be my guess

Those marks are nothing - you've got heaps of life left in the freehub.Fresh wrote:
Ensure you tension the cassette lockring to 40Nm as this will help limit that type of wear. You are not even close to having a gear slip with those little notches though so this is not of concern and its something that happens with all alloy freehubs.

Happened on my dt-swiss freehub, check the following link out viewtopic.php?f=34&t=29626 for more details and possible solutions. I have installed the american classic system but do not know if it actually works.
