Good wheels. Coming off of open mold 50/25mm, they feel about the same, a little lighter but no slower. Yes, subjective.
Weight w/ bitex hubs in 20/24 was 1575 including rim tape. Maybe 40g heavier than I expected.
Braking feels like a typical alloy rim. The pads that November supplies were a serious beyoch to get into ee padholders, even with a little lube on the back. They seem pretty abrasive, and grip the padholder too well, don't look forward to swapping them out. Dave, have you tried Campy Red's with these?
Glad they got there safe and sound. Haven't tried Campy Reds, no. There's still some ongoing work to find the best combo of power, modulation, durability, and brake track friendliness. We're very happy with what we've seen and the feedback we've gotten on the pads we're supplying, but there may be something way better out there.
I installed a set of pads on a customer's bike yesterday, stock Ultegra brakes. The pads didn't effortlessly slide in but they went in with thumb pressure. Are ee brakes known to have snug holders? I've never worked with them.
