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.

Looks good. i have been dwelling on the idea of building a set this winter

Those BDOP wheel kits are a great value if you are able to build them up yourself.

Know what you mean. Riding other people's wheels keeps other people from riding and most don't like that.
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?

I use the XC-279 and it's a very rigid. Just make sure you use enough spokes. If you're under 200lbs. 24/28 will be plenty. Under 160lbs. and 20/24 is fine.

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