XLAB carbon wheelset
I recently bought a set of new XLab carbon wheels at what I believe to be a really good price. they are 50mm depth tubulars and they are extremely lightweight my scale says 1.32 lbs for both (does that seems correct? my scale is not the best) with ceramic bearings.
anyone know anything about these wheels? any experience with similar wheels?
I bought them to resell but now that I have seen them I may just keep them for myself.

New?
I wasn't aware that XLAB even made wheels and they don't list wheels on their website. Maybe they are new old stock? Or is this a different company?

from what I can tell at one time they made wheelsets or sourced them and put their name on them at least. could also be a different company i'm not sure.
either way is ok I just wondered if there was any info out there. googling doesn't give much info.
they came with Token skewers and brake pads so maybe they were made by them?

I have several XLAB products but they are all related to hydration or bags/tools. Looks like they got out of the wheel business a while ago and you are probably right about putting their name on them.
Maybe try posting at slowtwitch.com. Shot in the dark.
