Anyone running EIE Carbon wheels? Specs/prices seem similar to Farsports.

Got my EIE 25x60mm SL wheels. 1495g on Novatec SL hubs with fat spokes on the drive side is more than OK.

Tubeless, angled brake track, 27mm at the widest point, new unique *UD* hi-temp brake track

How are these working out for you? I'm looking at the exact same setup.

No issues so far, really liking them. Can recommend.

Thanks! How many miles do you have on them? How's the braking, and what pads are you using? Seems Swissstop Black Princes are the go to for most people.

Coupla rides, I have too many wheelsets. I use Wiggle Lifeline blue on all my carbon rims.

Thanks! That's a good problem to have lol

anything deeper than the LB 56mm but still 30mm wide about? the LB 65mm is only 25.85mm wide, which is on the narrow side these days

The lb rims are actually 28mm wide just not at the rim:

My wheels from velocarbon ended up having the same profile from what i can gather. Probably from the same factory.

About 26mm near the outside braketrack, 27mm on the innermost end if the brake track, and 28mm at widest. Wheels measuring 25-26mm should be fast! This i am on the cusp of gt5000 23c or 25c.

The wheels were 515 +/- 15g and came out at 537, and 542g assuming my park tool scale is accurate at those weights. I was warned by folks here to expect them to be a bit heavier than described.

Why Sprinter in front and Competition back?
How do you like the new brake track?

[Jugi]

Mainly because I happened to have slightly used 22mm Sprinters and new 25mm Competitions on the shelf. On top of that, as there is a rolling resistance difference between the two, I like to have the better rolling tire under more weight in the rear. The Competition is more prone to punctures, but on the other hand a Sprinter lasts almost forever as a front tire. I didn't take pics about the rim & tire interface, but both 22mm and 25mm tubs sit on these quite well. 25mm tub is pretty much the same in width compared to the brake track.

Like I wrote, I won't be able to get on the road with these before April. We are waist deep in snow up here. I will be testing these on an inside track a week from now, but that won't bring up any conclusions about the brake track.

How do you like the new brake track?

Don't expect too much of a difference. Should be the same as with Campy AC3:

Ive sent you an email about these as im close to placing an order

I have done around 300km so far on my LB46mm wheels and I am really impressed. Firstly, the front wheel is very stable in windy conditions, even from gusts caused by passing trucks. They are way ahead to my previous set from yishun where I was using a U shaped 50mm front wheel. Concerning braking, I am using Campagnolo direct brake front and rear with LB blue brake block and the braking is very strong with no pulsing at all. This is a very nice wheelset. Weight is a fraction under 1500g laced to Bitex hubs. I can only imagine that the textured brake track will be even better. I wouldn’t mind trying the 56mm rim.......

Do you have pics of them? I can't find any pictures of the LB46mm wheels in a rim brake setup.

28mm wide rim is not even a concern. As a matter of fact, modern brake caliper can squeeze 30mm rim.
This is Potenza brake caliper with brand new pad with an opening of 32.5mm wide.

Is it safe to open the caliper as far as it will go? Pretty sure I've settled on LB wheels, would love to squeeze the 56x30mm wheels in there, but want it to be safe and if opening them up all the way will sacrifice braking performance or safety then I'll go with the narrower wheels. I cranked my Ultegra r8000 direct mount brakes all the way open and got 31.5mm with regular brake pads, without adjusting the cable.
