Sign of wear after 800km seems really really early it should be basically new ?

Btw the 54t original from xmcs was too loud for my liking. I cleaned it and used Dumonde freehub x grease and I'd say it's better. Definitely not silent but not annoying anymore, perfect !

Thanks for the reply. They aren't exactly worn out; the chrome surface coating on the ratchet mechanism has simply flaked off—that's all. It's only on the outer edge and doesn't affect all 54 teeth; it's a minor issue. You can see the color difference between the grey metal and the chrome plating. I assume it's normal wear; the teeth themselves aren't chewed up. I took them apart because they were making a lot of noise, applied more Teflon-based grease, and the situation improved.

Any photos to see the wear?

No, I'm afraid not; some of the chrome plating came off the ratchets—specifically on the outer edge, and not on all of them. A few tiny flakes ended up on the paper towel while I was removing the old grease.

I'm seriously looking into ditching my Enve 45 wheelset on my sworks SL7. I'm tired of hookless and tubeless tape. This has led me with two option. Farsport 50/58 24mmIW 30mm external width or the carbon speed 50/58 26iw/33 external witdth. Does anyone have any personal experience with these wheel set on a tarmac sl7? I shouldn't have any fitment issues?

What's the best way to contact XMCS for a custom order?

Does anyone here have a wheel with 5.2mm carbon spokes and a ParkTool TM-1 spoke tension meter? I am looking for a reference deflection number at proper tension (max tension in the wheel). Reason being that I am building a wheelset with those carbon spokes, but lacking experience as to how far I can go.

Launch our new wide IW carbon wheels：
D65TU-45 37mm IW T1100 rims 24/24H UD matt, R248 hubs 54T rachets TPI ceramic bearings center lock straight pull for 100*12/142*12, XMCS-TS01 titanium spokes, Sapim self-securing aluminum nipples
The weights of one pair (UD matte finish): 1495g +/-25g
