I did.
And lets keep this about the new Shimano wheels, we don't need another shootout thread.

These wheels are not the top shelf.
I should have re-phrased the main thread to,
best allrounders in the $1000 category.
Unless someone knows better ones in that mark?
Also, I am curious,
what kind of wheels you have in mind, lighter stiffer, more area etc?
examples ?
cheers

Tubs against clinchers never gets boring!
Oh wait ... it does

As for the safer and better handling thats just rubbish. Stiffer and lighter, remind me how much more they cost.

I'm pretty sure the guiding notion behind this thread was to give an overview of a guy's new $1,000 multipurpose wheel, not dismiss it because it falls short of the top few factory-built race tubulars money can buy.
Maybe the OP didn't express the idea perfectly, but he did post impressions and photos of something real that he bought, and we should have more user-impression posts with photos of actual gear on the forum, not less. Even when flawed, user impressions are worth more than pontification about theoretical advantages, "what should I buy" hand-wringing, and hype about vaporware.
So... if we can get an internal rim measurement, weigh-in, and ride review in this thread, it would re-focus the discussion and answer some lingering questions about the 9000/C-24.
Will somebody step up to the plate? OP?
