I will be asking him to build another set of wheels for me in the near future. He built a rear wheel with power tap pro and I was going to ask him to build another one with power tap G3 for the bike with SRAM gear.

What wheels were you replacing with these? i will be replacing ksyrium elites and am wondering if it will be worth the coin too upgrade apart from them being over 220grams lighter which is always good. Does going to a low profile 38mm aero wheel make much difference over a non aero wheel like the ksyriums.

I have a set of his alloy 38's and love them to bits- upgraded from the ksyrium elites too. I am totally wrapped in the decision and wont be going back!

Hi Dave
I upgraded from Fulcrum 5's - was really happy with the 5's but the TWE roll so much better - some blokes on our ride say I am only peddling half the time. So if you want to get fit and loose weight the TWEs won't help - but if you want a wheel that rolls forever great !! They are noticeably faster up the hills without expending any more effort and easier to maintain speed when riding by yourself. i think a great upgrade from my perspective as when in a couple of years time to upgrade bike - the wheels will still be A1 standard. You will be happy.

Tell me where you can find a person like that who would give of his own time on a Friday night for a complete stranger. The bloke is the real deal and so are his wheels (and bikes).

I rode on them again Monday and had a lot of cross wind and the 38/50 combo is perfect for me and weight (69kg)
Smooth to ride on and the braking is much superior than the Reynolds I had previously .... So far so good
And they look awesome ...I went for black on black stickers and make the bike look mean

I have these as race wheels. 4400km, including 45km of Belgian cobbles; bullet proof.

I had them made with stronger drive-side spokes for all the imaginary power I delusionally think I put out

My guess is that we might go revolution spokes or something weird to sort out some of the issues. Still. Should be nice to have a bespoke wheel.
