If I remember, Light Bicycle was 1350G? I’d do that.
Looks like ~1550g with Dt Swiss 350 hubs
I’m on my 4th season with Farsports carbon rims, have beat the crap out of them on Class IV roads, some accidental rock gardens, and other assorted weirdness. They’ve held up beautifully through everything. I wouldn’t have any reservations about any of the top tier Chinese carbon rims (Farsports, Light Bicycle, Yoeleo, etc.), based on my experience.
Agreed. My Farsports New C series is fantastic on my Ritchey Road Logic Disc. I’m only riding road (no gravel or offroad), but they roll fast and are bombproof. And they’re light.
Highly recommended.
Ah looks like under 1400g with Flyweight Rims (good for me as I’m smaller) and the LB Pace Hub.
Yeah, I personally wouldn’t do the “S” versions of those XPLR wheels, I’d want the nicer hubs with the “SW” version. They still aren’t DT swiss quality hubs, but I think the weak link becomes the bearing quality and that’s easy enough to resolve once the original bearings crap out.
Glad I could help! Felt that was a pretty good deal. Reviews for it from friends like it.
Pulled the trigger on these American Made gravel wheels. I thought it was a banging deal considering they are a domestic product. $1,100 bucks for some solid hoops.
Wheels don’t flat tires do 
I think initial reviews had lots of flats as they were running the 40mm goodyear tires. I have been running Schwalbe G-one RX 45 and 50mm on them and I have had 0 issues and love the wheels.
I thought there was something with the design that people were speculating led to flats regardless of tire choice.
Yea I think running anything below 45mm exposes side wall a lot since they are so wide. Might have just been those goodyear tires tho too?
Yeah, I’ve had similar experiences
De minimis for all countries going away Aug 29th.
RIP R2, Bikeinn, Bike24
I think the US customers of the German bike shops are a very small minority. According to a quick search they represent only a few percents of the total sales. I am sure the shops will be just fine.
RIP for us is what I meant to say… 
Just picked this up to build up with some spare parts, pretty great deal for a fantastic bike. They do have carbon ones and some Domane frames as well.
Just in case anyone is in the fence about these. I have the same set with a pair of ‘non official’ 45mm semi slicks mounted up to them. 2000km on everything from gravel roads to questionable single track. Zero flats 
I use an aluminum Emonda as my trainer bike. It doubles as my travel bike when needed. I’ve owned it longer than any other bike.
