My new wheelbuild pics.
I got a set of Bdop's wheels to build and just finished them yesterday. They are nice set built up really pretty nice the non drive side tension was decent and after 2 rides of 25 and 20 miles they will be nice. I had set of Shimano RS30 that came with my Wilier and while a decent set they are a bit heavy. I am not sure what the weight of this new set but I seemed to have dropped about 1 pound off the bike. Not much difference here in the flats but I always prefer to ride my own wheels. I must the BDop had the parts to me in 5 days from Taiwan incredible shipping speed.

Hope they work out.

How do you like the Kinlin rims? I don't know much about that brand, from research they do seem on the heavy side but how rigid are they? I'm thinking about ordering a kit but I need some rugged wheels for the roads I ride. Is the rear hub pretty loud?

Here's a new 31mm deep rim you might want to consider as well. Speculation is that Kinlin manufactures the rim.
