Spare spokes for Evo S:
In One Wheelset, There are 4 size model, you you need to buy 4 pieces as a spare set. And a full set of carbon spokes is 36 pieces.

I think i dont understand it. What about the differences between s5, s6 etc in depth.

And 4 different spokes.

4 different spokes per wheel size because the left and right hub diameter and flange offset will be different for front and rear hubs. This makes the distance from left and right hub flanges to the rim different on each wheel, hence 4 spoke lengths for a pair of wheels. I guess these are going to be different for every wheel size too.

Because most likely they want to push their more expensive farsports stuff insteat of selling the same wheelset for less money on wheelsfar You can get it on request though.

Probably a question for toxin...

When specifying your own components with Wheelsfar, how easy is it to work out what you are getting?
E.g. Is an RD270 from Wheelsfar identical to an SR270 from H-Works? Or are they different?
I can see specs for the SR270 here: https://www.h-works.cn/products/hw-261-rear
...but I am not sure how to compare specs of the RD270. Are they listed anywhere, or is it an identical hub that has been renamed?

It's the same hub

The model numbers from H Works generally carry over to Wheelsfar, with a few exceptions.

Best bet is to contact them directly via WhatsApp and ask the sales rep.

Quick question: My girlfriend owns a 2021 Trek Emonda SL6 with a frame Treks says is capable to handle 28mm tire clearance. When I look at the current 28mm, there is plenty space.
Do you think we can upgrade to the Farsports New 2025 with 30mm outer size and also with GP 5000 in 30mm?
Or is it too risky?

Measure the available tyre clearance (both fork and seatstays, they usually differ), that will give an idea of the maximum WAM tyre the bike could handle.
Given the 30mm outer Farsports are 24mm internal, you could expect just about any 28mm "labeled" tyre to blow up to 30mm on those wheels, so that is max I'd even attempt trying. 30mm labeled would exceed actual width of 30mm, guaranteed. The 28mm 5000 STRs would likely come out around 31mm WAM, I think (but there must be people actually using this combo out there, so maybe do a detailed search on STR thread or this one too).

if it's plenty of space, at least 28mm should fit? (GP 5000 28mm on 24mm internal w. will measure probably ~32mm, on 21mm it measures 30-30.5mm)
(I'll be able to test it soon I hope, 1 week more? )

You mean GP 5000 28mm or GP 5000 30mm?

Good to know. If my memory serves me correctly, it's not possible yet to order the equivalent of the New Evo S modeles on wheelsfar ? I never saw an offer with 18 carbon spokes with hd270 hub
