New wheels - the Psimets!
Got my order from Psimet a couple of weeks ago and have been riding the heck out of them. LOVE them. Love. Especially compared to the old Open Sports. Finally got around to posting some pics:




Kinlin 300 rims laced to White Industries hubs w/DT Comp spokes (28F/32R). They're great. Better cornering, a bit lighter, nice on hills, and pretty to look at.
Let the critiques commence.

What's the weight for the set?
Do you mind telling us how much you paid for them?
They look most excellent.

No can do. Blown out back (three bad discs) says no.

Yes they can and I have done many of them. H3 as a new series number was developed specifically to account for the spacing concerns with Campy 11. It allows more overhang for the cassette. The H2 Campy rear did not have that clearance. There is no difference between the H2 and H3 Shimano.
