So, OP, when can I expect mine for Christmas, you bought a ton of sets, right? XD

Isn't that the same place Peletonracer got a couple sets of carbon tubulars from? There is a post on the front page with photos.

Er they're just generic carbon rims. What makes these ones so special that you can't just look at the numerous reviews of other generic carbon rims?

Hey, I'm just throwin' it out there!
Part of being the guinea pig is taking the financial risk.
:D

I'd like to see someone actually put "this" particular combination of parts together to see how they come out.

Maybe I'm missing something but what combination? It's just a single rim.

No, you didn't miss it.
I thought it was a "kit" as pictured.
Those bastids! :lol:
Doesn't make sense.

$338. for (2) rims when a complete assembled wheelset is only $510. (only $172. more)?
[and from the same seller on top of that]

I am not buying anything from anyone on ebay who uses Google Translate when writing up the information. This also holds true for any website (ie. MagicShine) when it comes to purchasing products. I rather overpay, that way there I have someone I can sue, this is America baby!
