Haven't got the light to do it now. The carbon looks very strange on a wheel though, I'll take some pics after work tomorrow for you. Did you order yours today? Before 3?

You should get them tomorrow then (dpd next day). Yes and no, very light and appear strong. Much stronger than my Mavic Ksyrium Equipes, which I thought where a strong wheel but they don't seem to roll as nice. Bear in mind though, that they are cup and cone bearings which take a little time to bed in verus Mavic excellent cartridges. Still, 56 mile sportive through the New Forest on Sunday to fully test them. I'll post back with my full findings then, still Dura Ace spokes and rims is a steal at that price!

Just checked my account on PX it states (Preparing to be shipped - Your order is ready to be shipped) so i may not get before the weekend.
Look forward to your "report" after your sportive on Sunday.

Don't forget to post some pics if you have time. :smile:

Right Graham, the wheels are great! Mine appear to have bedded in and roll as good as my Mavics. I've got a little work to do with my riding position, but this has been my first Sportive on the Cube since purchasing it. I know what I have to do, just need to do it.

The wheels build speed very well and are super stiff, no sign of pad rubbing and I'm quite a heavy guy (though not as heavy as I used to be). They sound great too, you'll know what I mean when you ride on them and they absorb the little bumps very nicly.

In a nutshell shell, very impressed. I most resist using them as my everyday wheel. :smile:

Post your findings when yours arrive.

Cheers,
Tom

Yes Tom, they arrived yesterday, i will be taking them to my LBS from where i purchased my bike to have the cassette fitted on Friday FOC as i don't have the tools for a DIY job.
I must say they look pretty cool, and if they spin up as well as they look i will be happy.

Can't wait to go for a spin, hope the weather is kind to me on Friday afternoon.
