"I dont get fancy wheels"….
clearly you don't "get" cycling..
Lol, bit of a sweeper Bruce, don't see how that follows 😀
Allow me to clarify: I'm not a racer, but ride all over the place so ease of spoke replacement and the ability to true a wheel after a couple of spokes break is far more important to me than a few grams overall weight loss. So it's Hope Pro II's and 719's for me for the time being.
However I'm delighted that Chris has built a lovely looking bike, with blingy wheels. I don't like unnecessary solutions to problems which don't exist, but if these prove to be lighter, stronger but just as reliable and easy to fix over the next couple of years, then we're all winners aren't we? And THEN I'll get some.
