Carbon clincher set with Reynolds Stratus DV hubs (24/20 CX version) and Sapim CX Ray spokes.
Direct import of wide (25mm) deep (50mm) carbon clincher rims, which I paired with some repurposed Reynolds hubs (rumored to be sourced from White Industries OEM ... but not sure) and the best spokes I know. Very nice looking and fast, and incredibly comfortable with wider tires. Selling with Schwalbe Ultremo ZX 700x25mm tires still in good shape.
The only question I have is a general one about descending and using brakes heavily with carbon clinchers. I had a problem with the rear when I first built these -- warped braking surface after one difficult hot long descent from Tsuru Tsuru Onsen. The manufacturer sent a replacement which I swapped in, and that one has been fine. But I would recommend these for a rider under 75 kgs (I am 95 kgs) and would think twice about using them on long technical descents where you will be sitting on the brakes a lot. Great for a time trial or flatter course. Of course, you need carbon compatible brake pads.
These are in very good condition. Asking 25000 yen.
I will include some Shimano wheel bags.
Stop by and check them out -- in the Kaminoge/Futako Tamagawa area.
