We want hooked rims! Hookless is a terrible trend. I agree about rim width - 34mm is pretty good for 30-32mm tires. 60-70mm deep is fine. Lots of shallow rims in the market - don't make another one!

Nice, the Pearl White looks really good.

I asked the exact same question to Perry and he said no  ::). In the dark green it's not a big deal so I'm not willing to wait another month for it anyway. The lighter colors look a lot nicer without the holes I think.

They include clamps for both 7x9 and 7x7 by default. Currently, I'm using the 7x7 without any issues.

Thank you for the link. Must have missed that. That for sure does not look right. I don't think higher torque would help seat it correctly. Rather destroy the clamp or the seat clamps as it presses against it oddly.

How did the wheel building go? It’s one of my regret on initial build, I wish I went ahead and did the wheels myself

Nice!

Is it size 56?

I ordered the frame already too in size 58 (0mm setback and 100mm stem).
Saw some posts of people complaining about the fact that the frame has no "hole" To release water either in the frame or in the fork, yet still decided to test it.

My frame has a 1/8-in hole beneath the bottom bracket for I guess water egress

So, my build is done.

Anecdotally I've been using the 7x9 clamps on a RYET 3D saddle since complete the build together and no issues so far.

i would say 32mm wide, 50mm deep. Or even 34mm wide. I guess a vote on the forum could be useful.
I think 50mm is deep enough without being too deep for most guys in most situations. If you sell a lot to women & small riders, then maybe a shallower version too.
if 32mm wide, 30C tyre is probably idea, but you can probably be fine with both a 28C as well as 32C.
If 34mm wide, you can put 30 or 32C and should have a perfect tyre to rim transition.
I think steel bearings are fine because to my best knowledge, ceramic bearings for cycling applications make no sense.
No wavy rims.

A pity for their top cap...  I'm about to try the gravel version for a new build:

I used a credit card in the forward gap between cap and stem to avoid keep the cap edge parallel to the stem edge.
