Xiamen Carbon Speed rims/wheels

[toxin]

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

Hey Toxin
Thanks
Ok so around 3gram per spoke
So circa 290 grams which is the same as the  20/20Hole XMC hubs

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

I am considering to change my Elite Wheels Edge for D50CU-33 t1100. Is here someone who made the same decision and can share experience with us?

That will be night and day difference. Did not use elite edge but some users called them not to stiff laterally, just a mid tier steel spokes wheelset. I had a better wheelses then the elites and changed to carbon spoke one and this was like changing fro alu rims to carbon. That's just next level. You will be satisfied

Even the difference is noticeable going from the 1st gen Elite Drive 65D to the D65CU-33 t1100.

Both have carbon spokes and are 65mm deep. But the Carbon Speed are stiffer and magically handle crosswind better.

I have juts sold my CRW 50/60s for a set of T1100 D50Front and D60Rear CU31s
Also have another Chinese OEM brand of wheel 60/65 T1000 carbon spokes so far been great

Anyone heard from Peter in last few days?  I have sent emails and what's app message and still not reply.

[Uberflo]

Yes, we had a chat yesterday on an upcoming gravel wheelset.

The man's has a second child child on the way, and XM is currently in the process of moving premises so he is super busy.
Just need to be patient, i struggled to get hold of him
Last week but did eventually. Best to contact him during Chinese business hours which is +7 hours here in the UK on WhatsApp I found so had to get my ass out of bed early!

Hi all,

I just confirmation of my wheels being shipped, looking forward to having them in my hands

Specs:
D60TU-31 T800 rims 24/24H UD matt
With access holes
Internal nipple build
In-house hubs 24/24H 36T rachets enduro steel bearings center lock straight pull for 100*12/142*12 with Shimano HG driver
Sapim CX-Ray spokes
Sapim self-securing nipples

I went with these after discussing with Peter my requirements.
Usecase:
I am 83kg, do a bit of road racing and some races include a tiny bit of pavé or gravel sectors. Never a lot of sustained climbing. Hence the T800 rims for peace of mind and 24 steel spokes. I went with internal nipples to offset (theoretical, I know) 24 vs 20 (carbon) spokes.

You think T800 is stronger/more robust than the other options, particularly the T1100? I don't have a strong opinion one way or the other, just curious.

[toxin]

T800 is more flexible, which makes it less brittle. Because it's more flexible, they need to use more of it to make the rim sufficiently stiff. Because there is more material, it will be more robust.

I followed the same approach (after consulting Peter and some internet research) and chose T800 + steel spokes for my Gravel bike. The weight difference to T1100 + carbon spokes is just ~ 163 g and it gives me some peace of mind. I clocked in the first rougher gravel rides on trials and a long 200 km ride last Sunday, 530 km total so far. I am still happy, the wheel set was a significant upgrade and the wheels survived all beatings on the trials so far (I was kinda nervous the first couple of km)
