Tubeless is not the same as tubular!

DOH!!!!

 

[Mr Haematocrit]

Most Chinese wheels I have ridden are horrible in cross winds, not found any which actually impress me personally.

Make sure you let us know how you get on with them. It would be good to hear how things like the bearings last and how easy it is to source replacements when needed.

Spent the last day going through forum after Forum. Seems like farsports Carbon wheels are decent

May I suggest you drop into http://wearebikehaus.co.uk/ (not that far from you) and have a chat with Andy and Jon regarding ADR Carbon wheelsets (afaik they have some in and if they don't they should be able to arrange to have some in to view at fairly short notice), or contact ADR directly via http://adrcarbon.com/

Send them an email to ask what options and the prices. Solid outfit, I know how much testing they put the kit through before offering it for sale, I've also ridden their kit and I would vouch for them (they are even so helpful as to have made me custom carbon components from scratch to help solve a problem)!

Not to mention a few pro's (Alex Dowsett, Andy Tennant, James Gullen, Steve Lampier) and loads of top domestic riders are using their frames, wheels and bars. The prices are not quite as low as buying from farsports etc but they are UK based and still substantially cheaper than most of the competition!

Nothing else to add, carry on
