Anyone tempted? Look good on paper for £220...21 inch width seems a bit thin though.

21" width eh? 😉

I fancy a set of 29er ones but no green 29er rims. 🙁

26"?

From their email:

Just 390g per rim (26"), 1625g as a prebuilt wheelset with Tesla hubs and Sapim D-light spokes for £220

No experience of a tesla hub mind.

#Edit: and their weight claims seem realistic. (well they were for my switch / AM rim wheelset)

I'm thinking of some of the 29 er rims for a set of lightweight cx rims. Look good value.

See below for the email flyer, look very good but would be more interested in the AM version out next year.

I bought a set on there hubs as soon as they came out and have put a bit of mileage on them inc some good downhill. So far so good, they have stayed "tight and true". I'm trying them tube less now so will see how that goes.
