Incredible price, thanks.

Do you know if they offer silver hubs/spokes? Or just a link to their shop...

Not sure about spokes I'm afraid

These for disc?

Yep. Centrelock hopefully but if they send 6 bolt, I won't kick up a fuss

Nice. Still waiting on confirmation for mine to be dispatched. I went with bog standard UD mat finish. What tyres you planning to run on these?

Mine arrived not long ago. Didn't get charged customs (strangely), and the wheels have been good for about 1200km at this point. Performance has been good, wheels are still true and I haven't nursed them.
Would advise treating the pawls/springs with a bit more grease.

Ordered my go-proes 2 months ago and apparently been in the Netherlands for the last month, probably be a few weeks more. Don’t hold your breath !

Schwalbe Ones or Pro Ones, whatever they are.
28c. They’ve been performing predictably on my road bike with no punctures, good grip in dry and wet and roll nice. I’m aiming to have a still fast road bike but with mudguards so I’m not going for super durability

Cool. I'm debating between running tubed or tubeless. I'm just wondering if the sealant would have any long term effects on the carbon, particularly as I'll be running them without tape since requesting no spoke holes in rim bed on mine

Sealant won't have an effect on the carbon in the normal lifetime of a carbon bicycle wheel.

Light Bicycle seem to be sending TPD via plane to Europe now. My wheelset shipped last week and is already in the Czech Republic. I shouldn't count my chickens but so far it's seeming a lot quicker than the 4–6 week delivery estimation.

I jumped on the recent group order. The actual shipping of my wheelset took I think just 9 days...

AliX wheelset shipped today, now the shipping roulette starts. Need to think about the tyres I'll use of these once they arrive.

Finally!

They look fantastic

They look so smart!

Aw shucks, now I'm regretting going for the UD finish on mine. Hopefully I won't pay too much attention as I 'look' cool doing 15mph through town

Here are mine

Mine were handed to the airline a week ago but haven't left China yet as far as I can see.

Hoping the weave really shines in the sun since I went for gloss

That does look good indeed, but the highlight are those tyres. Are they tubeless or tubed?

Tubeless 32mm's £95 for the tyres, £234 for the wheels......ffs

Mine took 3 weeks from being handed to airline

The only regret i have with mine is that i went for matte instead of gloss! Go-proe are going up in price, they have their own branding now (it's ugly anyway) i think in some month they'll be 100-150€ more for a set

Gadzooks. What are these new wibby rims from LB?
