Back in January, it was time for a new (light) road frame !
flybike-asia.com had one I really liked: https://www.flybike-asia.com/product/145.html
But Carbonda told me the MOQ was 30 ;D
At the same time a friend got me a super deal for an Aethos frame... and boum! I fell off.
Then looking for a light wheelset, I took the WR40 rims: https://www.lightbicycle.com/700C-road-bicycle-rims-32mm-wide-40mm-deep-symmetric-clincher-road-disc-brake-available.html
The finish is just beautiful UD carbon weaves with a shiny epoxy straight out of the mold, no coating.
Which apparently is more scratch resistant.
The wavy shape and the finish makes them stand out from the boring wheels around and that I had for years.
1334g, with DT240 Exp hubs and CX-ray spokes.
Always no spoke holes now, so no need ever to tape them.
They are 32mm wide.
28mm GP5000 tires fit perfectly for the aero.
And provide a very smooth and comfortable ride on the not so good roads here in Belgium.
They have now about 4 months and 3000km, and are still as new.

Sheeeesh looking good!

Always liked the natural carbon fibre look.
Very understated, but not bland.

The paint on that Aethos look soo nice!
