I agree with Serge that filing the valve holes isnt good. I run mine tubeless so I have no idea, but curious to know if the tubes have oversized valves or if the issue is the dimension of the hole.

Regarding the hub noise, mine have a different ratchet structure, but they are insanely loud. They easily compete with CK on that front. They are certainly louder than my 54t DT ratchets. That is also my only complaint.

It wasn't the valve hole I filed but the end of the TPU tube. I filed very little and then it went through; Another TPU tube went through without any problem.

So a few questions overall thoughts on quality and service?
Who did you deal with at DFS and how much did you pay including shipping.
I am aware they have or are in the process of moving to new premises so obviously they are increasing production getting busier etc.

I paid 800 euros (wheels + shipping) in France.
The service is indeed very responsive and provides all the necessary information. Quick responses to various questions, photos, and videos are also provided. It was after reading a review by Sakisashi on this forum that I decided to buy these wheels, even though I was completely unfamiliar with the manufacturer. My only complaint is that I had specified a silent hub when I requested them. The video they
sent me bears no resemblance to the actual sound of the hub. I should also add that some TPU tubes didn't fit through the valve hole; I had to file some of them down.
Aside from these minor inconveniences, these wheels represent very good value for money (for now).

My wheels arrived on tuesday and I am nearly done with the build now. Got to cut the brake hoses and the chain to finish it.



The build itself went smoothly so far. I only had to detach the handlebars twice because the jagwire I added to the rear brake hose was rubbing in the headset.
I can't weigh the bike reasonably as a whole, but the components added up to 7562g. That's before the fork was cut etc. and with sealant pedals and everything included.

Hello, your front tire is mounted the wrong way around. Look at the tread arrow on the tire sidewall. This helps in wet conditions.

Yes, Brian is in the kitchen

It is a versatile frame. Mounted in Di2 Ultagra, TPU and GP5000 tire in 30 ( wheels 1330 gr ) , it weighs about 7.4 kg (size 54). The notions of rigidity, comfort etc. are very personal and therefore very subjective. Riding at 35 km / h is a warm-up for some and the apotheosis for others. I have not noticed any problem with the integrated handlebar but be careful with the measurement (100 mm = 110 mm). For the spacers, I do not remember if they are the original ones but I put spacers that clip on. This allows me from time to time to more easily clean the dirt placed on the upper and lower headset of the fork.

For my part, no flex on the handlebar (400x100 mm) but which is actually a good 110 mm. I have few spacers, I weigh 69 kg and rarely do sprints (does this explain that?). Lightcarbon has released a new handlebar, a little heavier and wider at the stem

Ok, I see your cat detected the problem on the chain
