Nice bike.
As a matter of interest, how were the spokes faulty?

That's funny, I've never seen one like that but if you've seen the manufacturing process, I'm surprised it doesn't happen more often. J-bend spokes are one of the most difficult materials for automated machinery to handle.
Edit: By "Funny" I mean funny - ha ha. Not funny, I have never seen that before therefore it doesn't exist, funny.

So they X-ray each one individually for flaws and didn't notice that? Must have been Friday afternoon in Belgium!

Is that 1422g for just the wheels, including the axles/QR skewers?
I'd better not tell you what I weighed a pair of steel 700c hybrid wheels at today, as they probably weigh nearly as much as your whole TT bike with tyres on!

They look well on that type of bike.
1422g including rear bolts but not the front skewer. I know you can get lighter road wheels but track wheels are heavy. The bike weighs 7.2kg, not too bad for an aero build. I could get that down to the magical 6.8kg by putting on a set of carbon bullhorn/aero bars I have but they aren't as comfortable.
