What hubs did you order?

I'll post a review (including weight, etc) once I get them. I'm going to get someone to look them over for me before I fit them.
As an FYI they cost $654 including shipping.

Edhubs are good, no worries there. The Swiss DT 240s hubs are probably better, but not worth the extra $300+.
We all look forward to your review! Just for reference, what wheels are you replacing?

I took them down to my LBS to get rim tape put on them and a new cassette. My current one is about 5000kms old so I treated myself to a new one.
They weighed the wheels for me, the bubble wrap was still on. The front wheel weighed 665 grams and the rear wheel weighed 825 grams. Remember, this is with the bubble wrapping still on and the hubs in. So their estimate of 1440 grams for both is pretty accurate.
I should be picking the wheels up this afternoon and riding them tomorrow.
I hope that helps.

I had Mavic Aksium wheels. The new wheels feel amazing. I had a poor day with the rear dérailleur needing an adjustment afterward as the chain kept skipping on the cassette. The Garmin decided to keep auto pausing as the spoke magnet had slipped out slightly. Then I lost my GoPro do to a mount snapping. So I wasn't in a good mood at all during this ride. Yet somehow, with all of this happening (including rain) I noticed a huge difference between my previous wheels and hubs and my new ones.
I would happily suggest anyone thinking about looking at these wheels to go for it. The Edhubs are great hubs as well.
I'm hoping for a better ride tomorrow but the rain looks like it has really set in for the next few days at least.

It’s a dynamic equilibrium problem, which would not be found from rims. Only after wheels are assembled on bikes, and ride in high speed descent, the problem might occur. As the resin flows and the carbon fiber were hand built on the rims, some workers might missed to put more weight on the opposite of the valve part.
To solve it, we will prepare some weight like attached(about 5g) for you to be added in the opposite side of the valve part, just put it under the rim tape. However, this problem does not affect the safety of the wheels.

Farsport wrote:Actually, the new wheelset has the same mould with the previous one you tested, and the craftwork is also the same. We just modified the rim bed, to make it only clincher. While the previous one is clincher and tubeless compatible. We sold thousands of the prebious model, and the wobble problem is really occasional, about 4-5 feedback with this problem. And all solved by adding weight in the opposite of the rim valve.
