Can I ask- is that 20mm of spacers? I am thinking about buying one and need 25mm including the top cap ( assuming it is 10mm- so 15mm of spacers. was wondering how it looks like.)

There is 15 mm spacer under the stem and 5 mm over.

I hope it helps.
Thanks a bunch marek! how tall is the headset top cap?

it's a personal preference. but fulcrum speed 55t over bora ultras would be more compelling, though theyre the same

Excel actually shows total 5.85 kg but let's stick with result of overall weighting shown on the photo :D

The biggest change are the wheels which weight 1218 grams (clinchers with rim tape).
I've asked to have spokes connected ath the crossings with carbon thread. This makes them a lot stiffer while accelerating. They are flying uphill.

Other big savings come from new Crankset which ready to go with power meater weighs 455 grams.

Unfortunatelly I remain now in Western Australia which is dead flat so low weight benefits are marginal. Look forward to be back in the EU :oops:

I've made approx. 2000km on this wheels.
They are very stiff, easy rolling, good braking altough I have not ridden in the rain so far.
I've ordered them for as light as possible setup, custom made with carbon laced spokes.
I've paid approx. 1600 EUR.

See some photos.

What really suprised me is the way they are accelerating and going uphill. I've had some good wheels but this ones are just flying. I would compare them to Lightweight Meilensteins, but NO LIMITED seem to be more aero and more comfortable ;)

Previously I had ROVAL CLX64's and NO LIMITED are acting the same in cross winds. Which is not perfect for wheel shallower by 14 mm however they are lighter by 376 gr so I can forgive that...
