I'm considering a set of wheels from Superstar.
A couple of their standard builds look really tempting: the Pacenti SL23 on Icon Ultra hubs, or the Arc22/Arc31 on Icon Ultra.
In fact, both seem almost too good to be true. Is there a catch here? I've read varying reviews online in terms of build quality - but at the price I could easily afford to have them trued by a local builder.
Some other thoughts: I'm 70kg so their 20-24 standard build is probably a sufficient number of spokes; I would consider asking them to substitute brass nipples instead of alu to add some durability.
@miro_o I understand you have some wheels (or at least rims) from them - any thoughts? Thanks.
