Hi,
I got my wheels some months ago and I would like to give a little review.
The contact with Peter was really amazing.  8) He answerd fast and very detailed to my questions.
The delivery was perfect in time (as promised - got before pictures of the wheelset).
Wheelset (55 mm, Carbonspokes, paintless surface) is superlight 1178 gr., the paintless look is very nice. the spoke tension is super („all the same“).
Mounting tubeless tires was easy, without any issue.
I did some miles on it and I am very satisfied (stiff, good aerodynamics).
I can highly recommened wheels from Xiamen Carbon Sports, Peter is super

I'd also like to hear more about the wheelset. Which width did you get? Could you share what tyre are you using and measurements?

Any chance we will see some fiber spokes on those rims one day?
I would love the additional comfort but i'm not ready to pay $2000+ for some fancy berd or goosyn wheels.
This could be the perfect package for my future All-Road bike  ;D

I’ve decided to replace my CRW 50/60s, which I sold this week. They were fantastic wheels — super light and reliable — but I’m after a more modern, wider rear rim profile he CRWs rear if people dont know was 21mm inner and the front was 25mm.

For reference, my CRWs came in at 1282g with rim tape.

The DFS rim profile on my current 60/65s is similar to that  as the XMC rims with 26mm internal, which I still like — but I really I want to give the profile of the new DC50 & DC60 CU31 models a go.

Here’s what I’ve requested for pre-order as I want the new up and coming 18/18Hole hubs:

Front: D50CU31

Rear: D60CU31

Spokes: 5mm carbon

Finish: T1100, UD paintless, no logos

Hubs: Requested with the new 18/18 Hole hubs expected at the end of the month

Oh and a set of the XMC Carbon chainrings as well!

Looking forward to the build — hoping this setup hits that sweet spot of stiffness, aero, and modern width.

I haven’t owned a set of XMC wheels before, but with all the great reviews on here, it honestly feels like a no-brainer.

Just have to be patient with Peter, as  with a new baby on the way and work he is crazy busy!

What size is your frame? I am also waiting for an R088 frame to pair with my XMC wheels.

So around 400 g for the hubs and spokes. A little bit heavier than farsports who use bigger external nipples, but pretty okay

Here is my D60CU-31 T1100 on my Spcycle r-088. They feel absolutely amazing - so quick - and even with the carbon spokes they are so comfortable thanks to the 32c tyres (which measure 32mm on the rims)

Cannot recommend xmcarbonspeed enough! Amazing products that are great value and Peter is so accommodating
