I've been considering the 26mm IW wheels with the intention of using minimum 32c tires but just looked up the ETRTO and the min size recommended for 26mm IW is 35c tires. 

Is it best to follow this guidance? If so then I guess I'd go for the narrower wheels but have to expect that'll result in a hit in aero performance.

Do they think there should be no gap? What is the effect of the gap that they are concerned about?

I don't seewhat's so non standard about that

the specs are really good on paper, though would prefer sapim, dt or alpina spokes, the spoke count on the front radial side is unneccessarily high

May I ask what has you preferring those spokes? I was planning to order a wheel with Pillar 1420 and Sapim CX-Ray is quite close ($10 more) in price.

What are your thoughts on hubs? DT seems to add a huge price premium and I’m not sure what it buys other than brand name.

Hello, I am interested in CS-D50CU-33 wheelset. 

-Where can I learn more about availability of hub & spoke options?  Probably DT240 & CX-Ray but would like to understand pricing for other options.
-Interested in your spoke drill & assembly QA/tolerances and lacing also.  (e.g. CNC drilled?)
-Also interested in surface finish options - would ideally like satin and unpainted ("paint-less") depending on the carbon finish but can also do matte black.
-Interested in pricing and assembled mass/weight.

Thank you in advance!

P.S. I'm motivated to upgrade my wheels but I'm also new here - if someone sees an opportunity to educate me or suggest better choices I'd appreciate it.

Seems a hard sell to me when Farsports can build at a similar weight and rim profile using DT Swiss hubs and Sapim spokes/nipples at a cheaper price.

Or you could go budget with someone like XMCarbonSpeed or Yuan An and get a similar wheels built for nearly half the price if going with Pillar Wing 20s and house brand hubs.

Go easy please, I'm new here - just took a look at the farsports site and the closest wheels are about $1100 USD.  Can you help point me in the right direction for how I'd go about quoting what you described from Farsports and XMCarbonSpeed?
