Hi guys, I can not figure out what kind of carbon wheels I got on my new gravel bike.
Bought used (few miles) Ridley Kanzo Speed 2020, with some cool carbon wheels on DT Swiss 240s hubs and according to the guy who sold the bike, those are stock wheels. Judging from the tape it's a wheelset by 4ZA and I know Ridley often have 4ZA stuff on their bikes. But there is no any other info about the type / model.
Maybe someone here will have an idea..
Thanks!

if they're not branded I would suspect they're a generic chinese/taiwanese carbon rim. most of them are a decent quality these days. DT swiss 240s are probably amongst the most common hubs that builders would use to make these, typically with sapim straightpull spokes. you can buy the 4za rim tape separately. you could remove it and see if there's any indication beneath it but if my hunch proved right, you wouldn't find anything.

Will be a generic carbon rim. They are commonly known as 4ZA Forza Cirrus Pro (but the OEM Pro used to come with DT 350 hubs so these look like a next step up)
