Posted an update to my blog review of the Yishun wide profile carbon rims after getting a bunch of time and kilometres in on them. Focused on braking, aero, and build quality. Check it out. Hopefully this helps others thinking about picking up a pair.

Nico great catch. I'll fix that up. Glad you like the review. I try to focus on the things that I was looking for and considering in my research. Especially the points where I couldn't find all the information I wanted to know. Happy to fill in any details missing or updates if people would like.

Ended up at 1482 gm. They'll get a good thrashing this weekend.

Thanks for the update. I ended up purchasing a set of 50mm and I have done about 50 miles on them and am very surprised how they feel compared to a set of ZIPP 404s I had on the bike before.

Not a fan of that carbone weave but yummy these hubs look the business
Was it hard to find the correct spoke length?
I have a pair of hubs from my Neutron that I'd love to rebuild with carbon rims

Sweet track wheels!Ordered a wheelset from Yoeleo last night. Let's see how this goes
38mm
3k Matte
23mm width
424 Aero Spokes
SL Pro hubs
They're quoting 1383 +-15g. I'm a light guy looking for a versatile wheel.
I've had a good experience with Chinese wheels before with carbonzone on eBay. I even took them to the French alps and descended 13km. The wheels did not delaminate although there were some marks on the brake track of the pads. IMO it fared well for a $450 set of wheels.

I got my new wheels today.
23mm wide, 24mm tubular wheels.
Sapim Cx-Ray spokes, 20f and 24r (2x/2x)
Novatec A291SL - F582SL hubs
And a quick pic on bike, in my room. Sorry for all the mess
I will write my ride reviews after I glued the tubulars.
