Thanks for the vid. How is the braking performance generally? Any problems on descents?

Nice vid.

To bad that you have to do a lot of truing. I guess the wheels aren't built properly. This is why you should always build your wheels yourself or at least get someone to do it who knows, what he is doing.

I've build two sets of farsport wheels myself, no truing needed at all after 4.000 km.

I'll echo what Multebear said. Wheels that constantly go out of true have most likely not been built properly. (Or have a rear hub that has an awful flange spacing).

Nice video.

I just posted an unboxing / initial review video of my YoeLeo Super Light 38 mm clinchers on my YouTube channel.

I will be reviewing them again soon after a few thousand kms of riding, so feel free to subscribe. Leave your questions in the comment section! So far, so good, rear wheel a bit of out true but it might just my bunny hopping curbs.
