The hubs are identical to my RD270 hubs
2023 Cervelo S5, size 56, sapphire/ice
Hubs are h-works but appear to be a modified version of the 270 hubs farsports use. These have a slot to fit wider spokes through. No6 used them for their first model as well.
The spokes I can't say for sure. They are 4.5mm deep, so not the new or the old farsports spoke. The hub-side metal bit is also a different design to farsports and slightly different to stren too. No markings means probably also not stren. Which leads me to Light bicycle, who do make a 4.5 mm spoke, but I've never seen the metal bits in detail, so I can't confirm.
The rims look most similar to a lineup I've seen from a few brands, including Nextie and Deerobust, but it would be the first time I see the 65mm version of this rim so not 100%.
At the end of the day the specs are nothing special, the rims are on the narrow side and the price is meh.

Narrow side? I think you should update your data and watch the Oz cycle review/check their website.toxin wrote: ↑Sat Nov 16, 2024 9:46 pmHubs are h-works but appear to be a modified version of the 270 hubs farsports use.

You saying 28mm external is the standard in the year of our lord 2024?
The wide version is still only in pre-order. Though it's good you said something cus it reminded me to say that those wide rims are straight up the same as nextie and deerobust

Agreed, man. There was a push to not consume his content when this happened, but it ran out of steam. He seems to be gaining popularity again. Nothing worse than defenenseless animal abuse.toxin wrote:Sorry, I don't watch that psycho
