H + Son reputation?
So I'm looking at H+Son wheels (specifically these) And I'm wondering 2 things.

1) Does H+Son have a good rep?
2) Do these wheels have a good rep?

They make a good/ durable rim; I have a set of formation face laced to phils and they are SOLID.

the wheel build, including the spokes, and skills of the wheelbuilder, proper spoke tension, etc. pay a bigger role than the rim itself. some of the best wheelbuilders are building with these rims right now, so the quality is there.

I actually prefer building with H+Son rims because they seem to be a lot less finicky when bringing them up to proper tension and truing them.

If they're anything like the stickers on my formation faces, they're the easiest stickers in the world to get off.

Yes, acetone or something similar will take it off without damaging the finish.
