So far so good: Cycling

Received in early May. I've ridden it about 1200km so far. There weren't any problems at all. The only negative was putting a new set of rubber on them. When I received them I put on a new set of Vittoria Rubino Pros. Firm, firm, firm! But they managed to achieve them thanks to great perseverance and perseverance. A few months later my rear wheel popped when I took the bike out of the trunk at the start of a ride. Bike brought home and disassembled. It turned out to be a needle prick as the cotton edge had slipped off center. It's not the bike's fault. Rim tape on both wheels replaced with plastic tape. Much better grip. Thing is, after the tires were stretched, I didn't even need the levers to remove the tires, and didn't do so until the very end of the reinstall. So it turns out that the difficulty of putting on new tires only applies to factory new tires. This is the only complaint I have and very easy to live with. Otherwise they made my Cannondale Synapse Carbon feather light. Maybe we'll buy a new bike soon. Since there most likely won't be carbon wheels, I know where to look. I also found out that they are made in the Zipp factory in Taiwan. Worth every penny! Update: There was another hole in the spoke. This time on the way home from a walk while the bike was on the trunk. This time I used cellophane tape. Ooooh, I got myself a set of "Velocity Veloplugs". Size 8mm will fit these wheels.

I put them in and then sealed them with rim tape anyway. So far, so good. I still love these wheels. After 2000 km it is still holding up. There is no visible damage/wear on the braking surface, the hubs spin perfectly. I will be buying a second set soon.
