All Road Custom Steel (DK -> UK)

Photoshopping is cheaper than real shopping...
The thought of new wheels for this makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside.

China carbonz? I fitted some tubeless to a set of hunt wheels the other week. Really well made stuff.

I haven't decided which wheels to go for yet. My club mate's sister runs Stayer with her man. So might throw my money at them. I am probably looking at £550 for 50/60mm rims + novatec.
Alternatively finding some used rims or import myself. Dunno yet.

I don't personally think it's worth it.

What I think is worthwhile is getting a decent tubeless wheelset to run those tyres tubeless, I feel that make a bigger difference.

This is not about logic.
I am racing this bike and I just want carbon wheels to make it feel and look fast.
Maybe even tubeless as well. We will see

I have enjoyed low pressure racing - but it sure doesnt feel fast (except in corners).

I ran 80/90psi in the first/only race I won last year. A crit at velopark. It had been raining and everybody was feeling sketchy in the corners. My Open Paves 27c at that pressure gave enormous confidence boost. I didn't spend any energy chasing back on during the race like I would normally do, because of my high center of gravity and fat ass. When we came to the finish line I had loads of energy left for the sprint.
Anyways I'd like a pair of carbon tubeless clincher wheels...

I haven't gotten around to taking photos of this new setup.
Hope hubs on Stayer carbon rims and a new 130mm 3T stem.

Noice noice

Yes

Rad, but we need an angle with some more purple

I will bring out my camera one day then.

No gumwalls? Saying that, outside Turbo Cottons I'm struggling to find a decent 25-27mm option other than Corsa G+.

I had gumwalls before. I just fancied trying something else. I bought the Pro Ones as they are tubeless and the rims are tubeless, but I am actually running inner tubes atm.
I do like gumwalls a lot but on these 55mm rims I think all black tyres adds to the overall Batman look. IMO it goes well with beefy stem etc.

That's lush man. Echoes of Stelbel. Really like it!

Thanks man.

What are you doing about the routing?

I will shorten the cable a little bit and tape it nicely to the inside of the fork leg. I won't use rear light until my new rando bike is done. I will make sure I do a proper routing job on that one.
