Nejmann,

My own branded rims and carbon ti hubs.

Those schmolke rims are very light. I wonder what the tension limmit is for these rims

Ok, second ride today, 40 miles, lots of steep climbs and fast descents. The steep climbs went up to 18%, and the wheels did not hold me back. My waistline did, but the wheels were great. The next big test was a steep, and twisty technical descent that ended with a 20% straight descent. Again, the braking on these wheels is impressive, and only a very little squeal on one hard brake going into a sharp turn after a high speed segment. Then the big high speed test. A long 20% down grade. Topped 50mph and the wheels were solid. They felt light, but no wobble at all, very impressed. Running Veloflex Carbons and dropped the psi to 100 on the back and 95 in the front and the ride was much better. So far I am really liking these wheels. 1040g for under $1900. Plus Tony at Fairwheel was just great to deal with. Highly recommended. I just might sell my Zipp 202's...

Don't know. The original images from Schmolke made them look glossy, but they clearly aren't...

Hello

Still 3 weeks away... beginning of next month.

Schmolke-carbon had a problem with production that delayed my rims.

They will be with Chris king R45 HUBS
