I have successfully used a DT Swiss freehub on my Serenade gravel wheels. Those have the SR032 Hubs, however. I’m running an N3W freehub for Campy Ekar on those.

I was told by Marya in the past that their hubs should be compatible. I have however not tried it on my other Serenade wheels with the SR278 hubs.

i run dt swiss 54t on my sr278hubs without any issues, using dt springs and axle spacer too

Do you have pictures of the TAR55WS? Ordered them as well this morning but am really curious about the performance in cross winds. They kinda look U-shaped, totally different than their 50mm counterpart. Do they measure 34mm externally or 32mm externally as shown in the pictures on the Serenade website?

Yes I'm running the TAR55WS, on a road setup
Will make some pictures tomorrow, I think its 32mm outside where the tire sits and 34mm on the widest part. Will try to measure and make pictures of it.

Can't say to much about wind performance as it's quite still this week in terms of wind, but on the few downhills i already did they seem to be quite stable.

Hope you can see the shape of the rim.

Measured 32mm outside where the tire sits and 33.7mm on the widest part

Would you prefer 3,3mm or 5,5mm carbon spokes? When is it recommended to use 3,3 or 5,5mm?
