Hey all,

I’ve been following this Serenade thread for quite some time now and finally decided to pull the trigger and order a set of these rims. I’ve also been in contact with Silver Xia, the owner, who’s been really helpful and quick to reply.

On the Serenade website, the 60/60mm wheels are currently listed only in UD Paintless finish and come with black hubs. I asked Silver if they could do the hubs in silver, and he confirmed they could — so I’ve gone with silver hubs and UD Paintless Glossy rims as a custom request.

Here are the specs of the wheels I’ve ordered:
   •   Depth: 60mm front & rear (hooked)
   •   Width: 34mm external / 23mm internal
   •   Finish: UD Paintless Glossy (adds about 5 days before shipping)
   •   Spokes: Carbon bladed
   •   Hubs: Serenade SR278C (DT Swiss–style 36T ratchet, steel bearings)
   •   Freehub: Shimano HG (XDR also available)
   •   Load limit: 110 kg
   •   Claimed weight: 1280 g
   •   Price: $569 USD + $60 USD shipping (~£470 GBP all-in)

That said, I’m currently just trying to get the claimed weight confirmed.
Someone pointed out that if you add up the published weights of the rims, hubs, and spokes, it comes out closer to 1322 g, not 1280 g.

It could just be a typo on the website, or maybe the info I’ve been given isn’t fully up to date — I’m waiting for Silver to confirm. Either way, the price is very competitive, and it’ll be really interesting to get a set of these in hand and see how they perform on the road.

I’ll update this thread once they arrive with the actual weights and first impressions.
