Does anyone here have the 3.0 with Red Spokes?
Seeing all the reviews here make me wanna invest in them. It's a huge plus for me that they do red spokes bec. I've always wanted a Blk/Red combo for my wheelset.

Custom and carbon wheels are still built in Singapore as the demand for them are low and we still strive to serve the custom wheelset market. Those take 4-6 weeks as we are still back-ordered for those.

Standard all black wheels are hand-built and shipped from our facility in Taiwan. This started this year as we are now distributing into some countries and are trying to cope with the demand. Previously customers had to wait 4-6 weeks for wheels which I felt was not the best option. Shipping from Taiwan is also faster and generally from order to arrival takes about 1-2 weeks.

Since i'm relativly new to cycling/racing. Is it possible to order a set of wheels and then take them somewhere and have the hubs changed out to maybe something like shimano or others. I read in other forums where the hubs are not good on these wheelsets. also I read where sean doesnt carry bearing to replace if the bearing go out. Is it gonna be possible to find bearing that fit at a LBS.

Also I don't know about your LBS but Sean uses cartridge bearings so you can pick up replacements anywhere that stocks the right size. Plenty of places on the net to buy bearings.

All that said, if you have a good local wheelbuilder, he could replace the hubs (and probably the spokes since new lengths would be needed). It'll cost you though. Figure the price of the new hubs plus $1 per spoke and at least $40 for labor.

The hubs aren't high end and I've had my issues with them, but they aren't bad. The bearings are bog standard industrial cartridge bearings. If your LBS doesn't carry them, they're available at boca bearings on the 'net. You might also have a local industrial bearing supplier who would carry them.

Sean would suggest you use Mobile 1. I just happen to have 5 quarts laying around from previous cars so I have gone this route and not surprisingly it works quite well.
