Edhub are suppose to be the top of the line bitex from what I googled about. Curious about their longevity too.

It's simple: don't pay the extra $45 for ceramic bearings on Edhubs and you'll be fine.

They list the FSC38-TM-23 at 1070g. How stiff do they build these wheels? I'm around 175lbs. The weight is great but don't want a flimsy wheel.

I have 2500 miles on my ED hubs with ceramic bearings. I live in Oregon however not much rain riding on these. Still rolling smooooth. Now that I posted that I hope they remain trouble free.

That's the 20.5mm wide tubular. They're now using the same model names for clinchers and tubulars, which is confusing.
The similar clincher is 1320 or 1350g, I forget.

If my 20.5mm 38mm deep clinchers are any indication, the rear wheel is not that stiff. The edhub/Bitex RAR9 has poor flange geometry, and lacing them NDS radial makes it worse.
How much it bothers you depends on riding style. I'm 145 lbs but when I climb out of the saddle I tend to flex rear wheels a lot, so I can feel it. I think the rim hits the brake pads at times. If you're smoother it would not be an issue.

Tubular rims might be stiffer for the same depth.

Just got my 50mm clinchers, took the plunge after reading this thread.

Front wheel had a lot of crap inside and rattled, took about half an hour to get this stuff out, should I be concerned, looks like Glue with some specs of carbon in it,

Can't post an image because I'm new.

Can't see the image- host it on an image hosting service.

It may be leftovers from drilling the spoke holes.

Eddie.. my friend set had the same stuff inside... now that they are more popular.. maybe QC doesn't have that much time to do proper inspection our something

[BmanX]

I had the same type of items inside my HED and Easton Aerobars.

Anyone using tubeless tires on these yet? On the "tubeless ready design" FSC50-CM-23? Not curious about ghetto tubeles with kevlar bead clinchers, just proper tubeless setup.

Hi,
i ordered a set of FSC60-CM-23 and i just received pictures of them. Mine are with Powerway R36 straightpull hubs, 18/21H, G3 lacing on the rearwheel and custom decals. I intend to run them on IRC Roadlite tubeless 25mm tyres. I'll report back once i get them and again when i have some miles run on them.

And some pics of them before shipping...

Follow up to my issue with crap inside the rims, the reply from Farsports:

Thanks for your feedback, but sorry to hear this info.
Those material is carbon, as worker didnt clear complete and remain inside. We had pay a high attention for this.
You can get rest assured about this and will not effect riding.

Now you can build with your bike and ride for miles.
It maybe let you feel fantastic during period.
We also hope you can give us a feedback after your riding every time.

We promised our quality of carbon wheelset.
They enjoy 18 months warranty.

Yeah whatever thanks for the QC.
