Lightweight pace hub, thoughts?

So reading that, seems like they really just added DT' internals.

Visually for me it looks like
h-works hub

Eh not really, a lot more similar to goldix if you want to make such comparisons

I got my Turbo 65s with DT 240s a few weeks ago and I was waiting for a good sunny day for a picture. incredibly good looking wheels!

How do they ride? Can you compare them to something else?

I had WR50s before with the same hubs, they ride about the same since they're about the same weight for the set and are pretty similar. Not sure about crosswinds yet because I haven't had a very windy day yet, but no real issues with wind so far going up in depth so far.

I am not a shill buy them or don't, I just wanted to share a pic since I haven't seen many pics with them actually on bikes

Thx. I've ordered a set so hopefully they're ok in crosswinds, given they're 65's.

I'm guessing Lightbicycle doesn't exactly need online shills given their well established reputation.

This photo makes the side profile much easier to see in a good way. Or like I thought, they are growing on me. Maybe I will start another campaign of email pressure next year to get these made in rim variant.

I joined the forum to ask a specific question about a wheelset LB offer. This thread is 298 pages and going strong. Not sure where else online you're going to find a comprehensive source of feedback and reviews for their products. One must start somewhere...

Ordered my turbo pro on August during their sale, and only yesterday I got the pictures from them and it is soon to be shipped. It took longer than expected, but can't wait to try it out!

Some closer look as well on the gen 2 hub

Did you receive them?

I got mine back and turns out the carbon spokes are interlaced. I have sent them an email regarding this and they have yet to get back to me though. Will update more once I receive a reply.

Carbon spokes should not be interlaced...

I am seriously going to start temp-banning people who antagonize new users. Every old user who has speculated on this has so far been wrong. It's as sickening as I am sick of it.

Still yet to received mine, it just arrived in my country based on the tracking.

Care to elaborate why it shouldn't be interlaced? I'm fairly new to wheels stuff.. or cycling in general I suppose.

just received an email from them, they said it's intentional with the new hub geometry.

They also claim that interlacing it this way is more stable, and implied that the new spokes are more durable.

From what I currently know, carbon spokes are purposely laced without interlacing or touching of spokes in a cross as it prevents abrasive damage from each other.

However, I did notice the spokes are completely different from their typical Flyweight special edition spokes. This is also reflected in their BOM sheet. Thrust-4 carbon spokes, anyone on the inside know what this new spoke is? AFAIK the older ones are from Stren.

Can you take some measurements and pics? The old ones didnt really look like stren to me
