New Wheels are Here!
My new MG Custom wheels arrived last week and I absolutely love them!!! Big upgrade from Bontrager Race. These wheels weigh in at 1600g. If I were to have gone with a Niobium 30 rear then it would be around 1470g but I wanted a stiffer rear rim. After about 200 miles I am very satisfied with the build. Noticeable difference of 2-3mph on descends due to the more aero profile with high-quality hubs. ***Now I'm debating removing the stickers off the rear so that it would match, what do you all think?***
Front:
Niobium 30 rim
DT Swiss 240s hub - 20 hole

Rear:
DT Swiss RR 1.2 rim
