Hands down these are one of the best wheelset I’ve owned.
Martin from Arkane has made these amazing retro looking wheelset. From the photos you cannot see but these are 25mm wide and I’m currently using a 23mm tyre on them for aero benefits but I was actually more worried 25mm tyres wouldn’t fit between the frame.
I wanted 18h but Martin told me it’s a silly idea and I’m glad I took his advice as they feel robust with all 36h laced but the best part of these wheels is the braking. It feels like it’s a modern bike with these wheelset and there is no comparison with the Mavic Cosmics in terms of overall performance and someone would argue aesthetic as well.
