the normal weight of 20mm tubular rims is 250g, and the foam-filled rims will be some lighter, around 220g.....

The Chinese rim maker I buy from is switching to 24mm and dumping the 20mm because of failure rate. the 24mm weight 230gram. I do not have pictures on a scale but I have 2 sets on the way.

Those are 50mm rims ?
A friend of mine ordered very light 50mm rims (310gr) and both had problems while lacing them. They seem to be not strong enough. What about yours if they are 50mm ?

Yeah, it's the same one you buy from.
Hi I would just warn you against Yishun:
I have been dealing with Yishun for a two years now. And everything went fine until my last batch of wheels where there where several quality problems. I emailed Yishun about these issues and in the beginning they asked for photos, so I emailed photos and even a video.
After that I have heard nothing. Absolutely nothing. Its been a month now, and now I would just share my experience with Yishun.
DON'T SUPPORT THIS COMPANY WHO CLAIM TO GIVE 1 YEAR WARRANTY, BUT IGNORE YOU IF YOU EVER WANT TO MAKE USE OF THAT WARRANTY!

And there it is in a nutshell....
Nice find. Interesting that they stuck with a V section rim rather than the new trendy U shape.
