At 45mm depth and using the same hubs, the price difference between Feder and Kaze is $90 and 70g. With the small price difference, I don't think the Kaze is meant to be the lower-end carbon. So what's really the difference between Feder and Kaze other than the price and weight? Stiffness? Rim profile?

I got my first set of Farsports delivered today, woohoo! Kaze35 / 28mm external with DT350, they look spotless. They kindly put a low value on the invoice to avoid GST without me even asking.
Looking forward to mounting them on my gravel bike and going for spin in the next few days.

That's exactly the same as the wheels I bought. I have been very happy with mine so far!stickybidon wrote: ↑Mon Aug 09, 2021 9:32 amI got my first set of Farsports delivered today, woohoo!

This is a picture posted on the Korean community. The wheel is KAZE and the hub is Carbon-ti. This is the rimbrake version. The hub is split. I've never seen anything like this before. Of course, I don't think this is a matter of far sports. There are serious questions about the durability of Carbon-Ti products. Because I also have the company's disc brake version of Hub and Feder rim.

Please forgive the long valves, I got 60mm for no good reason!

I plan to use these as a second wheelset with 28c tyres once I get the Canyon Grizl Di2 with DT Swiss GRC1400. All my road bikes are rim brake, but eventually I'll get disc so these will be an option to use when that time comes.
To be honest I probably should have gotten the gravel 36/32, but I had already purchased a bunch of 43c tyres recently and my TCX will only fit them with an internal rim width of no more than 21mm. I'm sick of selling bike parts and buying new stuff!

That's about as bad as I've seen a hub failure from a reputable company.y2kshock wrote: ↑Tue Aug 10, 2021 6:59 amThis is a picture posted on the Korean community.
