I posted this in the
What did you just buy for your gravel bike? thread but thought I'd put this in the "official" Light Bicycle Wheels thread.
I just got my wheelset and had it set up on my Santa Cruz Stigmata.
Light Bicycle Falcon Pro - WR38 Disc - 24H - Hooked Tubeless:
- DT SWISS 240 EXP straight pull Center lock Black
- DT SWISS 240 EXP Shimano Road 11S straight pull Center lock Black EXP 54
- SPOKE Sapim CX Ray with black aluminum nipples
- Quoted weight (no tape, valves, etc) 1428g
The big difference off the bat is the Ratchet EXP 54 hub and the quicker engagement is definitely noticeable. The tire profile (38mm Specialized Pathfinder Pro) is a bit wider (visually) because of the wider internal width (25 mm).
It's hard to be subjective over just one ride but it seemed a bit easier to get to speed and maintain it. I do notice bit more side force from cross winds because of the deeper profile compared to my last rims.
And of course as the mechanic I use told me when I picked it up - "they look the business". Love how my bike is set up.
