Pretty sure ETRTO or whatever is 5mm greater than rim width.

 I didn't realize this (5mm or greater) and cannot find anything about it officially. Regardless of what anyone says the charts are there to limit liability if there is an accident.

D65CU-33 T1100 20/20H UD paintless wheelset built with 5.0mm carbon spokes weigh around 1315g/pair, sorry, not able to attach pictures for now

Do you have a max rider weight for these? Also curious about max rider weight for same build with tbe D50CU-33. Thanks.

I asked Peter as I ordered two sets of wheels (65/33, 50/36). It’s 120 kg.

Carbon spokes and 20h? Dang, that's pretty solid. Thanks.

Its a giant safety issue on the road. Good grief, they almost banned hookless in the peloton over this. New rules require strict ETTRO compliance regarding tire size/internal width. So I don't know if was the poster or the rim, but that needs attention.
You're confusing tyres blowing off over the rim and tyres falling off the bead lock into the rim well. The latter is no more dangerous than how a normal clincher tyre behaves on a non-tubeless rim when fully deflated. The former is the problem for hookless wheels, and is of course, very dangerous.

In any case, I've mounted GP5k and P Zero Race RS to my XMCS wheels, and they have stayed securely locked when the tyre is flat, even when rolled along the ground in this state. I'd go as far as saying they're the best behaving wheels I have for tubeless considering ease of mounting, inflation with just a track pump, and staying locked when deflated.

Regarding ETRTO recommendations, I have no qualms running 28s or 30s on these wheels because they are hooked, and the risk of blow off is infinitesimally small compared to hookless rims and tyres of any size. I'll note that Josh Poertner runs 32 mm tyres on his 29 mm internal width 3T Discus 45|40 wheels.

Concerned people might also consider road tire inserts nowadays. I believe we have passed the dark middle ages, and in a modern and progressive society, it's not illegal anymore. Fashion police will not arrest you.

Are those Steel Spokes? I'm looking for a similar setup of the DCU-55s but with steel spokes and i'm interested in real world weights compared to the carbon spoke versions.

I am really interested in the D50CU-33s. I run a Vielo V+1 as a mixed road/gravel bike and it looks like these wheels would fit perfectly.

I was going to go with new farsports Evo's but has some concerns about being able to true the carbon spokes or replace broken spokes. It seems no one here shares similar concerns about these wheels?

D50CU33 w/ T800 and 24/24 steel spokes is 1400g at $600 shipped to us


D50CU33 w/ T1100 and 20/20 carbon spokes is sub 1200g at $950 shipped


Spending 50% more on less durable wheels to save ~200grams is probably not worth it for any of us who dont race

 It's not about being 'worth it' but about wanting it. Lighter wheels spin up faster and generally feel quicker - I swapped a set of alloy Vento wheels with a 35mm set of Bora's on my Master and it transformed the ride and looks even better (same tires). I tried the same bike with a set of HED Stinger tubulars and it was better again. If someone thinking light (whatever) is going to make them move up a CAT level than they are kidding themselves. Heck, if I wanted to save 200g I would just skip breakfast.

 Oddly enough I just ordered these  https://www.xmcarbonspeed.com/Productinfo.asp?f=1657. A 1400g set of gravel wheels for a road bike. I don't mind the weight extra weight at all ;)

So I have gotten two offers from Peter:

1275g - 58mm rare and 50front
D50CU-28 T1100 rims 24/24H UD paintless, in-house hubs 36T rachets enduro steel bearings center lock straight pull for 100*12/142*12 with Shimano HG driver, Pillar 1420 spokes, Pillar aluminum nipples

1221g and 58rare and 50front:
D50CU-28 T1100 rims 21/21H UD paintless, In-house black or titanium color hubs 21/21H side entry hubs for carbon spokes 54T rachets TPI ceramic bearings center lock straight pull for 100*12/142*12 with Shimano HG driver, carbon spokes with nipples

Any changes I should consider and is it worth going Carbon spokes vs Pillar 1420 spokes?
