The wheels arrived this afternoon, the package was in great condition, and everything inside is in excellent on condition, they came in weighing in at 1330grams

Sorry if this has been answered already, but are these the same rims being sold on eBay. I suspect not, as those on eBay are around 1520g and most on this thread seem +- 1350g.
I'm urgently shopping for new rims having just destroyed my Reynolds Assaults riding Stage 1 of the ToC course. That 2 mile descent at 18% on Myers Grade delaminated the rear and then the front rim. A long walk home.. To be fair I got around 30k km out of them so no complaints really.
I've laced my Reynolds to a Powertap, so thinking about buying a front wheel and rear rim. Emailed both light-bikes.com and Farsports. Waiting on a reply...
Thanks

Took them for a spin around the block, brakes work well, free hub is real loud, I think the pawls need to be greased, so far I'm pretty happy I'm gonna take it to my local mechanic to make grease the pawls and adjust the rear Dérailleur
