First take on Flo Cycling's 30mm wheels
My low spoke count Bontrager's finally got tired after 11K miles of hauling my fat ass around. I just got a set of Flo 30s. They come in standard and clyde spoke counts. I'm below their clyde cutoff, 198 lbs, but got the clyde version rated up to 242lbs anyway. The front is a 20 spoke count while the rear comes in 24 and 28 (clyde) versions.
The wheels arrived trued to perfection, make zero noise, and appear to be a quality build. The rear hub, IMHO, makes just the right amount of noise. It'll let a drafting cyclist know you've stopped pedaling but not rattle anybody's teeth. The all aluminum wheels are ~$250 each and are reported to have good aero properties for 30s, of course at my speed does it really matter? Now for the real reason I picked Flo. They have a large selection of stickers and you can match them up easily to your bike.
