Im going to have a look. Generally i am a fan of white decals (preferably 3 on  one side). But with my thiccc Elves Falath Evo frame, i only see black wheel sets on pictures and kinda can see that white decals might be a bit too much. So its good to know :)

They said the black decals dont exist yet and are in production. So if you really dont like the white decals and they are under a clear coat, then just wait.
@fhold: Can you tell us if the decals are under a clear coat? if not then i guess you could heatgun them away :D

You even get two TPU tubes, crazy

Yea, 4 spare spokes, 2 TPU tubes, crazy deal. Really keen to get my hands on these. Hopefully they will arrive next week.

Bought a pair during ali aniversary for really cheap should arrive next week dont have a bike ready but hopefully in the next month or two will get to try them out.

My experience on these after few rides now.
- hubs are silent for about 100km and then they start to purr
- EXTREMELY stiff wheelset, most likely due to carbon spokes
- about average in cross wind

Wheels arrived they look great to the eye i dont have a truing stand but they look straight and spoke tension seems good to the touch. Will give an update once i have built the bike and ridden on them.

Wouldnt mind them staying silent tho

is the ratchet identical to dt swiss style with both ratchet identical or does it use the 2style ratchet with the two semi-ratchet different?
I have a 60t kit installed in my CSC and I'm asking if I can swap the 60t to the Kore

Then grease the hub up and you're golden.

This. I took it apart and applied a bit more ratchet grease. Nearly silent.

What grease would you use for the 32 ratchet version? Is a NLGI 2 fine for that?

Not familiar with that one, but you can always use the DT Swiss ratchet grease.

I didn't know Kore had a sub-brand, interesting. The price is also interesting on this https://it.aliexpress.com/item/1005010297883797.html; for a "training" wheel, I'd say it's a great value. They're a bit heavy, but you can't expect much for that price. They could be a great choice, especially given the reviews.
