Wheels were finally built, installed, and test ridden.
Onyx Vesper center lock hubs in Black Aura power coat.
Generic carbon rims, 12k twill weave, 30mm inner width
DT Swiss Aerolite spokes
Sapim double square alloy nipples
660g front 880g rear
Weight loss was 280g front and 200g rear with 203mm XTR rotors vs the DT Swiss M1900 wheels with 180mm XT 6b rotors.
I’m liking the silent treatment. I’ve read complaints about the soft engagement of the Onyx hubs but I’m actually preferring it. There’s no metal on metal smash like the lower engagement hubs when ratcheting the pedals.
