Thoughts on your SLC3? I still have mine but had to strip it down. Needed the groupset for my TanTan GR201 gravel build.

Dynamically out on the road it's a very agreeable bike. Very well planted and nimble. Winspace markets it to compete with the SL8 which doesn't make sense. But I get it. And it's not really far off the mark to be honest. Especially with identical components and wheels.
I've been scaling back my permanent road bike rotation. The SL3 definitely makes the cut.

My frame has perfect QC and seems very well built so I'm happy with it. Im probably not qualified to talk about ride dynamics. I do appreciate how it is able to clear these tires

What's the measured tire width now? I was considering a similar config.

36.4 on my calipers. A 32c tire may give you a more aero tire-rim transition if you believe in that kind of stuff

D50CU36 rims with 34c tires. I figured go as wide as I can and the SLC 3 ended up clearing these rims and tires with room to spare. Feels so good that I will probably keep this as my only bike & wheelset. My D65CU33 wheelset is probably going to a friend and my gravel bike is getting sold.

Do you also ride on heavy windy days?
Will the wheels be stable in those conditions, that 50mm will be all you need?

36.4 on my calipers.

Just what I need. Lazy commuting with a little tiny touch of aero homeopathy. Gratitude.

Hey guys,

I came across these wheels thanks to Patliean1's video (huge thanks for that!), and I finally decided to reach out to Peter and order a pair of D50CU-33 T1100 with steel CX-Ray spokes. I'm super happy with the wheels—they look stunning in person and are incredibly light! 1289g with rimtape applied.

Sorry for the low-quality photos; I haven’t had time to take proper ones yet.

65mm / 26mm int / 34mm ext
5.0 mm wide spokes. I chose T800 over the T1100.
Still lighter than I anticipated. Need to check again but I think around 1384g

Is it a paintless or glossy finish? I would say glossy, but I'm unsure.

Very nicely balanced build!

Glossy finish.

The paintless option saves only a hint of weight, but is quite the magnet to dust and fingerprints.

Vantablack wheelsets should be a thing.

D50TU-31 24mm IW T1100 version  UD paintless finish weighs around 375+/-5g since the mold is new, it could be lighter after we make hundred of them.

My wheelset is almost finished!

The GP 5000 STR wheels were mounted without tire levers, and the complete set looks fantastic!

I also ordered the valves and tubeless tape from CarbonSpeed, but no project is without problems...

Front wheel mounted, and the wheel maintains its air pressure without tubeless lubricant.

Rear wheel loses air after about two hours. 

I'm a complete "newbie" should the wheel be leak-proof without tubeless lubricant, or will it stay permanently with it?

The tape is probably not mounted properly?!

2nd question: I removed the valve core to fill it with tubeless lubricant later – reinstalled it for testing – and now the valve is completely leaking.

What am I doing wrong?

The setup does not necessarily holds air w/o sealant. It depends on the tyre and the tape. In my case with the Pirelli P Zero RS Both tyres mounted with levers no issues, the much looser thunder burts not without sealant.

So just fill in the sealant and give it a little shake. Then they should be sealed.

For the valve core: maybe it’s damaged. You tried another one?

Not yet, because the valves from CarbonSpeed are new ones.

I will remove the valve from the wheel and check it, maybe I did a mistake?
