Does anyone know anything about them? They seem like a pretty good and light wheelset. Rims are plenty wide (26 mm), hubs are DT Swiss 240's and DT Swiss spokes. Also the hubs seem to be compatible with just about every front axle diameter/set up (9, 15, 20, 25). The only possible negative seems to be that some people have said the front can be a little flexy. As someone who is on the heavier side (185) and doesn't always pick the best lines this makes me a little hesitant.

i shed a tear when you said 185 was on the heavier side

+1 "Holy shit" I thought. "Is 185 overweight now?"

That does sound bad, doesn't it? The problem is that you see these guys that are probably a buck fifty wet, and I clearly don't fall into that category so I wanted to put it out there.

BTW, here's a link to the specs:

Now I've heard it all...I must be a bonafide fatass!

I would say that the "awesomeness" of this wheelset totally depends on the price. How mush would you be paying?

I just get the feeling that they're too weak. Also, something about a wheel that can be mounted on a 20mm thru axle fork with only 24 spokes. And a radial pattern at that, too? Just doesn't seem right.

Why are you drawn to these wheels?

Bonafide FatAss #2....whoo hoo and loving it baby. Someone has to lead the spin class at the end of the group....LOL....cougar bait.

Weight, DT Swiss hubs, plus I can get a good deal on a slightly used set (5 rides). I agree something seems too good to be true. I don't need something super beefy, (I don't fly into orbit when I hit a jump like you) but I would like to get something that will last and I don't have to worry about them if I hit something wrong.

A little over 1/2 of what they retail for.
