The nose blurring makes him look like a proboscis monkey

Awesome, thanks!

does anyone do 60mm tubeless compatible wide-ish rims? 32h required.

I'm in a similar boat; looking for a 50mm or shallower tubeless wheelset. I'm a fatty at around 90kg; so looking for recommendations on wheels

I'm a fatty at around 90kg

Only if you're under 5'7" :)

LightBicycle do a 46mm deep × 21mm internal rim that I'm tempted by for my road bike, with a 130kg load rating it's enough even for me.

These look reasonable:

Fit all my needs (I'm 6ft 2)

That's just the rim I have been looking for, cheers.

Thought tester only did carbon that has had western QC? Genuine q, dont think ive seen you condone chinacarbon before

Genuine q, dont think ive seen you condone chinacarbon before

I condone Chinese manufacturing when somebody has brand value they want to defend by doing QC. At this point, it looks like LightBicycle have that value, so one would hope they are interesting in preserving it.

Rim group buy?!

yeah I'm up for a lightbicycle group buy, tried this a few weeks ago but everyone dropped out

I was going to fire up that group thread (@HoKe ) but the rims I want have 1-2 weeks lead time .. I might place an individual order today

Group buy group buy

(in no rush this end)

I am in a rush tho #buyer

I might be interested in grabbing a couple of rims too - has anyone spoken to them to confirm bulk postage costs?

Hopefully @HoKe ? Farsports always combine up to a point, think I got 6 or 8 sets of rims for 2 x postage last time.

With our recent far sport group order rims could be combined to a certain extent to save on postage, but not wheelsets.

Cool. I've emailed to get prices for 2 - 12 rims but can ask for more - I'm asking for TPD (taxes paid) quotes as otherwise it might get tricky!

So they got back to me -

For 8+ rims, they give 7.5% off for each symmetric rim or USD79 off on each asymmetric/flyweight rims(MTB).

They've given shipping costs for EMS and TPD (tax paid). EMS may require Customs fee.

shipping cost: 6pcs 8pcs 10pcs 12pcs

     EMS             $85        $113           $127        $141
     TPD          $172.6      $239.4     $272.8    $306.2

Edit: that table didn't go well...

I'm going to give these a go, hopefully the all black ones don't come with ridiculous non-advertised logos.

I could be keen on some rims and in no rush either so can wait till we get a group buy sorted.

I'm good to go on the above @andyfallsoff, no real preference which shipping option.

What are thoughts on Taiwanese Ti?

I bought some and they just arrived. First impressions are good - nice case, two extra lenses, don't seem to flimsy, fit me well.
