Okay so as promised, pic of wheels with also a short review.
I bought the wheels because of Serge's propaganda
I haven't tried them yet bc I'm still missing some parts (aliexpress in france sucks)

Wheels are carbon speed own hub, looks like every other ratchet hub, 1420 pillar spokes, and 50x33 rim

weight is 1371g. Note that rim tape and valves are not included.
GP 5K S TR 30 are 33mm wide, so they fit perfectly, and follow the rim nicely.

Hub is really loud, but I feel like there is also no grease, so I bought dt swiss ratchet grease to try.

Decals cost 30 euros, thanks to a price reduction from Peter.

Bought them 23/08, arrived  27/09.

Buying experience was really nice, peter was really helpful, and gave me advices on what to buy. He also made the decals himself based on a bad photoshop that I did.

I will make another review once I've done around 200km with them

I'm intereset in the 33mm wide rims.

Does anybody know how a 30mm GP5000 will sit with these 26mm inner width rims? Will it be around 33mm?

I just received my wheels, and put gp 5000 s tr 30 on them, and they sit really in line with the rim.
I can provide measurements and pic tonight(~8h)

Thanks Lumenir,
I was hoping to deal with them and get a set of lightweight 40mm carbon spoked wheels for my Tarmac SL6.
The lack of response at this stage means ill probably go elsewhere.

There's a great deal on the Elite Edge wheels on Aliexpress, so I might just go for those and maybe upgrade the spokes to carbon myself at some point.

Any specific reasons you want carbon spokes?Weight? Stiffness? I'm just curious

You won't receive your wheels until quite a while, so may be waiting for a week for an answer using their website can be a good idea if you really want carbon spokes.

Wait.. So it's cheaper to buy it with Shimano 105 12s and wheels, than getting just the frame set?

From what I understood, the version with 105 have "regular" version of the frameset, and not the plume version

Has anyone had contact from Leon recently?
Im looking for a new set of wheels and have messaged him on here and emailed the company but have had no reply.
I sent an email 2 weeks ago directly on Leon email, no response,
Then I used their website to ask a question from the contact page, and got an answer 3 days later by Cassie
I'm still debating if I should buy from Yuan an or from XM carbon speed
