T1100 D50CU-33 rims 21/21H UD paintless built up with Carbon Speed hubs 54T rachets TPI ceramic bearings center lock straight pull for 100*12/142*12 with Shimano HG driver

That's really great weight. Mine, 24/24h t800 are 1420g. 200g of savings is pretty awesome.

Got an order in for the promo wheelset, should be around 1250g. Now I'm anxiously waiting, I hope the shipping time won't be more than a month.
Had contact with Allen via WhatsApp, apart from the weirdness of ordering something via WhatsApp, the experience was great, friendly, quick and helpful respones.

Thanks for the info, that sounds reasonable. I would want them at the end of January to arrive at the latest. If it does not get stuck in customs, that should work out then.

My wheelset finally arrived. Peter asked me to post a review which I'll gladly do! The wheelset uses D50CU-28 rims with the in-house hubs and CX ray style spokes. As a specialty I ordered the variant without nipple holes. This makes for a painless and more reliable tubeless setup for just a little bit extra cost. Wheelset came in slightly lighter than expected at around 1330 g. So far I've put on GP5000 S TR tires which was indeed painless to do, it worked much better than on my older rims for some reason. No tricks needed, just put on the tires, a bit of pumping, done. I'm still waiting for other parts for my bike build, so I haven't used them yet, but from what I can see, everything is solid and they run perfectly true, too. Freehub sound at first seemed extremely loud, but with tire and cassette installed, it now sounds a bit muffled and much better.

Edit: by the way, I also ordered a spare freehub (because I've always had bad luck with freehub bodies for some reason). This was very reasonably priced, I think at 25 USD.

Edit2: now I see D50CU-28 is now available in T1100 too! Damn those rims are light! Maybe I should have waited a bit lol! I'm still satisfied since my wheelset is really good value for money though, got the basic T800 variant of the rims. The T1100 rims are probably quite a bit more expensive.

Fat wheels arrived today :)

Happy with the quality. Tyres seated well, but fitting them on the rim was... well, let me just say my fingers huuurt really bad.
28c front 30c back - thanks to SERGE_K guidance. They fit really nice. Also I ordered xc rims and managed to lace the wheels today as well. And I'm really happy with the weight. In a day or two, VB 268 frame should arrive and so will my road bike saga begin.

Hello everyone,
First of all many thanks for all your efforts on the forum, it's great and helps me a lot - keep up the good work.

Based on your experiences and reports I have ordered a wheelset (and handlebar) from Peter. And I can and will pass on your opinion - it was a great experience and the products are really very, very high quality products. Peter helped me a lot, even when my questions were annoying, he always answered immediately and helped me - thank you!

For the wheels I ordered the new D50CU-33 T1100 rims with carbon spokes and Peter's in-house hubs. Weight 1,225 gr. The plan is to use 30mm tyres. When I have fitted them I can give an update on the actual width of the tyres if you are interested.

I am also happy with the integrated handlebars, I just have to look for suitable spacers.

Guys I've notived the rear wheel is out of dish, and it bothers my ocp. Difference is not negligible, 4mm, or in other words, double the distance. On one side there's 4.1mm distance to the rim, and the other - 8mm. I know how to dish it, but it shouldn't be that big difference imo. And the problem is I don't have the spoke holder to keep the spoke from turning while re-dishing. Can anyone give me advice? I'm willing to try to re-dish it, but if the nipples are glued, and I don't have the spoke holder, that might be pretty impossible i belive.

I don’t know whether the chain stays typically would be completely symmetrical. drive side needs to clear the chain rings

Was thinking about that, but tire is offset with regards to seatpost as well.

You really need to put it on a trueing stand and measure it. The bike is not a reliable measurement.

I stand corrected. Wheels are in perfect dish. It's the vb268 dropouts that are causing slight misalignment. I managed to fix it though. Mea culpa. Wheels are 100% straight, round and dished properly.
