But Farsports make 21mm internal and 30 mm external. so how can it be a farsport OEM?
No. 6 make 24 mm internal and 31,5 mm external. That is better. If U put 28 mm tire it will be 30-31 mm in real and this is more aerodynamic.
The CRW 5060 wit the 29 mm external on rear wheel is stupid. 28 mm tire will be wider then that.

First off, those farsports and no6 measurements are just in different spots of the same rim. Second, rear tyre width doesn't really matter that much, it has been proven in the wind tunnel

Learned a bit about the 50/58 wheels. The hub being used is H Works designed for T Spoke carbon only. Drawing show slightly different geometry meant to increase stiffness. FS refers to this as RD8275.

To see which actually, you have to look on Farsports custom wheels site www.wheelsfar.com. Tons of options there. One rim is from the road (Hyper) rim, other is from their gravel range.

Like others have said, Farsports also makes 24 internal and 31.5 external (widest part of the rim).

Not sure if this is helpful, but here are the T-Spoke hubs listed on the H-Works web site...

They are using a different hub, the same one as on 9velo carbon spoke wheels, but with a t-head shaped hole

This is one case where FS actually changed the part number completely from HW.

Farsport wheelsets of interst to me:

45x34-28internal hookded rim (advetised as 430 grams) with RD270, wheelset ~ 1240 grams
FS45/34G-700C with RD270 hubs. http://oem.farsports.cn/products/gravel-road-rims

50/45x34-26internal hooked rim (this is a wave alternating depth rim, advertised as 420 grams) with RD 270 hubs, wheelse ~ 1220 grams
B50-32T-DSL with RD270 hubs. http://oem.farsports.cn/products/waves-rims

22x30-25 internal hookless (advertised as 250 grams and max 65 psi for these 29 inch mountain bike rim) with RD 270 hubs, wheelset ~ 890 grams
FSD29C/T-30-22UL or FSD29C/T-30-22ULA (last A is for Asymmetric) with RD 270 hubs. http://oem.farsports.cn/products/mtb-ul ... arbon-rims

All of above could also be done with sapim spokes and RD261 hubs and weight would be an additional ~100 grams. If going this way ask to pay $800.
They might not do this anymore?

I own the 58x31.5-24 internal hooked with RD270 `1320 grams. 3 of my teammates have 50x31.5-24 intrna hooked with RD270 ~ 1220 grams. We bought them with our own money, and they are awesome wheels.

IS THIS A SCAM?

MY BROWSER SEEMS TO THINK SO. I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF AN .oem PREFIX AND NO SUPPORT A SECURE CONNECTION.

Would be good to get an expert opinion.

That’s just a subdomain, not a TLD.

I just wrote a review of my wheels, built using the front rim of this No.6 wheelset. Btw, I think it's the 'GH' variant you want for hooked.
