    Did similar on my 650b 35mm one 3 months ago, I am still riding it now :)Had another set on order for my other bike and they did me a warranty price and all i had to pay was extra postage (£15)

    Have a set on my Nicolai on Hope Hubs that are 1600g and a set of 30mm on my Santa Cruz with DT 240 hubs that are 1400g.

    Amazing value and a very tough rim.

    Yes, seems to work well.

    From Park Tools website

    “For the 11-speed chain, replace at or just before the 0.5% reading”

    So thats what i have been doing.

    I have been using X1 Chains on my X01 since they came out, 3rd chain on that cassette and on 2nd front chainring.

    you will find they need changing at .5 when using a Park tools CC-2.

    I get around 500 miles per chain.

    Just about to order some LB rims to go on my DT 240 hubs.
    Have a set of 650b LB 30mm Hookless built onto Pro 2 Evos on my Nicolai and have lasted really well and look good after a year. Around the 1600g per pair in weight.

    Hoping to get a lighter set of LB carbon rims to go the the DT hubs to go on my SC 5010.. Hoping for around 1500g pair.
