I have similar concerns as others have noted when it comes to the almost extreme value of this brand. Frankly, I'm looking to purchase a carbon, deep-section, wheel-set in the area of 45-55mm depth. My concern is, I was initially planning on purchasing the Bontrager Aeolus Pro 5 TLR Disc Road Wheelset for around $1,300, but a similar wheelset from LB is only around $650? Not to mention it's considerably lighter, LB's coming in at 1550g for 55mm depth and Trek coming in at 1,720g for a lesser, 50mm depth.

Yes, I know it's a weird concern that the price and weight is too low, but normally it's a situation of light/aero, quality, $$, pick 2.
