Have you weighed it? Is this wheelset really only 1200g?

Mine was ca 1250g but with the rimtapes installed. So I would say it is very much around 1200g without the tape.

The very first post here lol
I have now about 1000km on these rims. Zero issues.

Quick update after the first 110k ride

Another update after ≈ 750k

Wheels stilll rolling strong. Had a little issue with the front wheel, there was a strange sounds like something was loose inside. I took off the tire and the tape and fished out a piece of a plastic. I guess this was a leftover from the bladder. Other than that, I am still super happy with the purchase.

I recently got the MTB wheelset, mixed wheel 29/27.5 and haven't had issues yet. Going to keep punishing them before putting them on my wife's bike!

The decals came off easily by hand and didn't leave any residue.

Was that the white or black decals ? Did you just scratch them off by hand ?

White decals. I just got a fingernail into an edge and the whole thing peeled up. Some spots left adhesive but I just used the peeled-off decal and dabbed those spots to pull up everything else.
Ended with two fresh wheels, no need for any solvents, cleaning chemicals, soap, or anything else.

Update after ~300km:

Nothing to say other than i am still a fan. Sometimes i hear some "ding"s but i think thats just the occasional gravel hitting the rim.
Im new to thick carbon wheels so i cannot say anything other than that i "think" i heard the same sounds with my 1000km on my Elite Ent 2.0
The Kore feel better made and look better tho. So thats my 2 cents.

What how ? Even with a hair dryer I could not remove the decals...

Pardon guys, has anyone bought this model with pillar spokes? https://it.aliexpress.com/item/1005009497190160.html
It seems like everyone goes for the carbon-spoke version.

Good luck with those. I think I lose 5 years of my life trying to mount these. Those PZero are great once mounted, but to get them on........ my lord.

i see your pzeros and raise you a challenge cx tyre

I recently received Cyclone wheelset and did about 300km so far.
The quality looks exceptional. Super nice hubs, bearings are buttery smooth, freehub body has bite guard and rubber seal. There was no grease on the bearings so you need to remember to but some yourself before installing the wheelset. Rims have really nice finish: raw carbon with matte clear coat that looks really nice in the sun. Decals look like they are under the clear coat. I wish the rims were a bit wider externally. You get 4 spare spokes and 2 tpu tubes in the box. No tubeless valves. All of the spare spokes are the same length. I asked the seller to install tubeless tape instead of a regular rim tape but they did a horrible job so I'll have to re-tape it anyway. Weight with a rim tape 1257g.

My friend also ordered a steel spoke 60mm version of the kore wheelset. Will report once he receives it.

Maybe it's a MTB vs road difference? Idk I can only speak for the MTB wheelset I got, sorry man!

I mentioned this before, these seem to be proper water applied. No removing these without rim damage. But they really do look good.
