    I was worried about carbon exploding and killing passers by, but i thought well that could be fun..

    Would these passers by be walking?

    I'm thinking about passers by watching me make Waylanders rim explode and it's making me want to walk :shock:

    :lol: That just made me chuckle.

    Brings back some happy memories from Scout camp?

    I was never a scout, lol. I like your Ocelot though. Will you be getting them back in stock?

    Ive had some bad SS wheels and some good ones. Oh no wait, they've all been bad. Hubs/Rims/Spokes etc. generally ok (although I have toasted a Tesla fairly quick). Build quality and longevity is always bad from my experience. Also, carbon rims look cool, but what do they really add? Better off with a decent set of alloy rims I say. Could have 2 pairs for the same price.

    weight, there 25mm width and weigh they same as a 22mm width alu rim.

    Theres a few rims around that weigh the same or less for relatively similar sizes. WTB KOM is 23mm and lighter, I think the KOM i25 is due out soon which should be only a few grams heavier than the SS. At 1750g those wheels are not that lightweight. Something like an Am classic AM would be in the same price bracket - probably nicer hubs tbf - give you a 24mm inner width but more importantly shave 250g off the weight.
