I need some forum expertise on a mystery three spoke front wheel. The seller says he doesn't know the brand and that he went to a bike shop to ask whether it was made out of carbon which they affirmed. Now I'm not sure in how far the seller and the bike shop are experts on carbon wheels but judging from the shape and the position of the valve hole, it looks very similar to a 'trispoke' (the one with the white and red logo) which afaik (please correct me if I'm wrong) is not made out of carbon fibre but thermoplastic. I read that the 'trispoke' front weighs 1050g, is a proper carbon threespoke like spengle, specialized etc. considerably lighter? I attached some of the seller's pics, maybe one of you guys has an idea:
