After considering different options, yesterday I bought the serenade wheels. Pricewise all were in a similar range, but the modern profile these had made me pick them.

Which ones did you decide to go for?
I'm still debating if I should go for the cheaper set (about 380€ + shipping) with 24 steel spokes. Or to get the more expensive set (570€ + shipping) with 20 carbon spokes.
Both are the 80mm deep rim with 23mm internal.

At the moment I'm leaning towards the cheaper set, both the spoke count and aero spokes are probably pretty marginal.

As far as I know, for TT you don´t always want wider because at some point it will penalize your aero savings.
I don´t see pros going more than 28mm in TTs or triathlons (yet).
What you don´t want is the tyre being wider than your rim.
This photo is from my wheels, i bought a "princeton carbonworks" 3 spoke and rear full disc. The sheet says that both wheels have 21mm internal and 28mm external diameter. They have a GoodYear Supersport FFr in 28mm.
I think they are a good match.
Hope it helps.

Yes those look like a great match. And I think trying to follow the 105% rule is never a bad idea

I'll just leave this here: https://www.instagram.com/p/DdjiseSEf4I/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&stkn=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

Remco was running 30mm tyres on a really wide looking front wheel for his TT World title in Montreal.

Hi,

I've been on the same search.

Goals:

  • 80mm or deeper
  • at least 30mm external, preferable wider

I've landed on the Seranade wheels, or Bitranz rims (https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005010271225480.html)

At the moment I'm chatting with Serenade, because I do prefer a wheelset over building the wheels myself.

I've just sent XCadey the data from my testing yesterday and have requested a meeting with the team at Shanghai Cycle early next month. I hope something positive can come out of the time spent on this one.

Hi Shane, did anything come from this conversation with Xcadey in Shanghai?
Or any other news from Xcadey?

I've been looking out for something similar, but haven't found something direct to consumer out of china.

Caden does have a disc wheels that meets your requirements:

You could also just get a 0mm offset chainring in the size you want. And use a washer like this to get some offset:

But make sure you get some longer bolts for the 3-bolt connection aswell (like in this set).

I've had a bad experience with the Wuzei chainrings. I got a narrow-wide 44T (104 BCD, not 3-bolt Sram mount) ring to use with a GRX 12-speed chain. But the wide tooth of the Wuzei chainring were too wide for the chain. This caused some chainsuck, but mainly a lot of noise from the chain "popping" of the tooth at the bottom of the rotation. I could even feel this vibration through the pedals.

I've since replaced this ring with a Deckas chainring, this one is great. But as you found out, these are only available in 3mm offset with the 3-bolt system upto 38T (mine is 104 BCD with a offset spider).  I've also used the Pass quest rings that bichler.bua linked. Those are great too, but a bit pricier.

I'd be a worried that transferring the torque through 3 bolts rather than 5 results in the mounts on the XCadey shearing.

Most of the torque would be transferred trough the splined interface, if the fit is correct, and not through the bolts.

I've had good experience with a XCadey Gen 2 spider power meter on my MTB (The 3-bolt 104BCD version). So pulled the trigger on this crank+PM to replace a faulty 4iii (left-crank based) PM on my road bike.

I started running a bit more at the start of the year (mostly a cyclist).
So disclaimer, the only other running shoes i've used are older Ascics shoes, and more recently Nike Pegasus 40's.

Picked up the OneMix Pace Beams based on the recommendations here because I got roped into doing a 10 mile race.
And they do feel great! You just want to run fast with these shoes. I only wear them when doing faster sessions, and they still are great with about 150km of running on them.
For reference, i'm not that fast, my 5k time is 23 minutes and ran the 10 miles in 1h20min. So faster runners might benefit more of the carbon plated shoes, but even for me, they feel great.

After the event, I also bought the OneMix Bumper Elite 2's for easy running. These ones I don't like as much. The cushioning under the heal is really soft, which in turn makes it a bit unstable under my foot. So I don't use these as often, and run more with my Nike Pegasus shoes.

Hi,

1) Yes, the frame is UDH, so it should be compatible with the SRAM direct mount groupset a.k.a. the 13 speed XPLR groupsets.
You can use this groupset with 2 sets of wireless SRAM blips.
But for the KMC chain, make sure you get a flat top chain (KMC has flat top chains, the X-flat or XSL-Flat) because the 13spd cassette is only compatible with flat top chains.

2) As far as I can tell from the ICAN website, and Triexpress' photos. Yes you should be able to use any 22m extension but you should think well about the length of the extensions. From the photos, it doesn't look like you are able to push the end through the baseplate completly, so you are more limited in the length adjustment of the extension (or you need to cut them at the base plate to your desired lenght). But maybe Triexpress can confirm this.
