Not really ridden them, only a few km. They seem fine although I've just ordered some 28mm GP5000 Transparents which I'll fit today, so I'll never really know what the Schwalbe would have been like.M4lukz wrote: ↑Mon Feb 15, 2021 4:04 pmhow do the current setup (schwalbe) feels like?

I agree they are almost strangely silent. Maybe this means they've got too much grease in them?

I have the chrono wheels, not sure if it's different or same hub to the strade but it's very quiet

I don't have a disc bike to put them on right now, sorry! Maybe in a few months when frames eventually come back in stockM4lukz wrote: ↑Sat Feb 20, 2021 7:50 pmmind giving us a "propper" freehub sound check?BenScott144 wrote: ↑Sat Feb 20, 2021 7:36 pmI have the chrono wheels, not sure if it's different or same hub to the strade but it's very quiet

Not riding them tubeless based on the front wheel tubolito, no? Personal choice?
And what is that thing on the rear valve?
Yes can't be bothered with tubeless, front is running a tubolito which will be switched to a silca latex like the rear when I next get a puncture
Looks like a new Wheelset has been launched, https://eu.parcours.cc/products/ronde and a 50€/50£ price increase across all wheelsets... outside UK shipping still subject to specific country taxes

We're really excited about this one. It's been "interesting" trying to get a product launched in covid times for sure!M4lukz wrote: ↑Thu Mar 25, 2021 11:14 amLooks like a new Wheelset has been launched, https://eu.parcours.cc/products/ronde and a 50€/50£ price increase across all wheelsets... outside UK shipping still subject to specific country taxes
There is a small price increase to the Strade, but we're now including a tubeless kit and a lifetime warranty on the new Ronde, the Strade and our Alta gravel wheelsets.
didn't notice that on the price increase, but that's really good to hear!parcourswheels wrote: ↑Thu Mar 25, 2021 11:27 amWe're really excited about this one.

Regarding the outside UK purchases, everyone's still subject to each country VAT and taxes, right? Your wheels are very nicely priced, but if I'm gonna be charged extra for the import VAT, that puts the wheelset on a completely different price range, which makes me hover towards another options...
Unfortunately, you're correct. It's around a 30% price increase here in Portugal...M4lukz wrote: ↑Thu Mar 25, 2021 11:58 amdidn't notice that on the price increase, but that's really good to hear!parcourswheels wrote: ↑Thu Mar 25, 2021 11:27 amWe're really excited about this one.

Any reason why not going hookless? It would be nice to see a discussion from someone that has manufacturing knowledge really talking about this topic.parcourswheels wrote: ↑Thu Mar 25, 2021 11:27 amWe're really excited about this one.

Unfortunately that is one of the consequences of Brexit. We have looked at options including EU warehousing, but at this stage in our growth it's not quite practical yet. If you compare the EU (€) pricing to UK (£), we've tried to keep the gap as small as possible, but with the additional logistics costs of UK to EU shipping there is still a difference when you include the import costs.M4lukz wrote: ↑Thu Mar 25, 2021 11:58 amdidn't notice that on the price increase, but that's really good to hear!

I don't think we're alone in this challenge within the bike industry, although more often than not it's EU brands importing into the UK that are impacted.
